NS2677 : Roseneath Street

taken 11 years ago, near to Greenock, Inverclyde, Scotland

Roseneath Street
Roseneath Street
Out in the Clyde, directly ahead, is the end of the Rosneath Peninsula. In the past, the name of Rosneath (NS2583) was sometimes spelled "Roseneath"; the Greenock street name has preserved that particular variation.

Visible at NS2677 : The end of Roseneath Street is the back of the John Galt Memorial Fountain; on either side of it, steps lead down to the Esplanade: see NS2677 : John Galt Memorial Fountain.

[An aside: although the place-name Rosneath (NS2583) is pronounced "rose-neath" – [rozniθ] – the present-day spelling "Rosneath" better reflects its etymology: the name appears to signify the "headland or promontory" (Gaelic "ros") of Neath; for the "Neath" element, see NS2982 : Remains of Malig Mill.]
