Bentley's Folly
Bentley's Folly is a little-known local landmark in Gourock, consisting of decorative stone walls that resemble a fortified defensive structure. Very few official historical records exist about it, though it is often considered a "folly"—an ornamental structure—and some lore suggests its builder went bankrupt funding it, spending his final days in a poorhouse.

HMAS Nestor (G02)
HMAS Nestor (G02) was a British-built N-class destroyer loaned to the Royal Australian Navy during World War II. Commissioned in February 1941, she is famously remembered as the only Australian warship never to sail in Australian waters.
Atlantic & Arctic Patrols: In 1941, Nestor participated in heavy Atlantic convoy escorts and Arctic Circle operations. She played a key role in the capture of the German weather ship Munchen, securing vital Enigma codebooks for British intelligence at Bletchley Park.U-Boat Sinking: In December 1941, she successfully tracked and sank the German submarine U-127.Malta Convoys: She served extensively in the Mediterranean, escorting crucial supply convoys and enduring relentless Axis air attacks.
In June 1942, Nestor was assigned to escort Operation Vigorous, a critically important supply convoy bound for Malta. On the evening of June 15, while in the eastern Mediterranean, the convoy was targeted by high-altitude Italian bombers. A stick of bombs straddled the ship; one detonated close to her port beam, flooding her boiler rooms, severing power, and causing fatal structural damage.The British destroyer HMS Javelin arrived and took Nestor in tow. However, as the ship steadily took on water and began to settle by the bow, the decision was made to abandon her. On the morning of June 16, 1942, her crew was safely transferred to HMS Javelin, and Nestor was scuttled by depth charges in the Mediterranean Sea (approximately 115 miles north-east of Tobruk)
HMS/HMAS Nestor, the famous World War II N-class destroyer, was built by the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Govan, Glasgow (Scotland).
