Relocated to Gourock Pier around 1 February 1992 (source: Inverclyde Courier, 13 Feb 1992) and refurbished/redecorated slighly after (its lid replaced with 'a transparent dome'), as a Tourist Information facility. According to Peter McGhee (and Inverclyde Courier), it was stored prior to this point at an Inverclyde District Council depot at Bogston. Scrapped 1997(?) on redevelopment of pier. Featured in Teenage Fanclub's video for 'video for 'Ain't that Enough''.
