Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
Our historical statistics are always for precisely defined areas, usually administrative units, not "places". We know about the following units named after Gourock. Each has its own "home page" with much more information. Click on a tick to go directly to a particular statistical theme.

Be careful! A unit may cover just the town or village, but it may include a big surrounding area. For example, in England and Wales rural districts units with RD or RSD suffixes may even exclude the places they are named after. The "Units covering this place" tab lists units whose boundaries contained Gourock.
We know of no constituencies that were named after Gourock; where constituencies had more than one name, we base this on their "preferred" name. Constituencies that covered the point location we hold for Gourock will be listed on the "Units covering this place" tab. You can search for constituencies or other units that covered a particular location you are interested in by typing a postcode into our home page, or by using our Historic maps section, zooming in, selecting the Information option, and then clicking on your location.
