A derelict housing estate dubbed “Scotland’s Chernobyl” for its eerie ghost-town like appearance is finally about to be razed to the ground.

The tenements at Clune Park in the town of Port Glasgow were built a century ago as housing for shipyard workers but many have lain empty for decades.

A stand-off between private landlords and the local council has thwarted redevelopment, leaving the site frozen in time with just a handful of tenants remaining.

Demolition contractors are expected on site within days, preparing to take down a third of the buildings, including a church and fire-damaged school, after they were condemned as structurally unsafe.
