GEORGE ROBERTSON (MERCHANT, BANKER & BAILLIE) -
DIED around 1828 - Mural (middle front wall Inverkip Street burial ground.)
Involved in many and varied business ventures, George was partner in the Greenock
Bank with John Scott, the Ship Builder. In 1811 Greenock Guinea notes were the chief
substitute for gold. He built a grand Mansion which is now the Tontine Hotel in
Greenock's West End and was reputed to be the first person in Greenock to own a
private carriage and a piano!
