Gibshill (also spelt sometimes as Gibbshill) is the eastern-most housing estate in Greenock and adjoins Port Glasgow, both in the Inverclyde Council Area, Scotland. It is served by Bogston railway station.
The Gibby, as the area is known, once thrived on a community spirit that is long gone in this as well as many parts nowadays.
Until recently, comprised mostly of tenements the area may well not have had the best of reputations among others in Inverclyde but the people were, as the saying goes, the salt of the Earth. A thriving community has in recent years undergone mass 'clearances' and demolition (including no shops in Gibshill since the previous shopping district's demolition). Large expanses of grass exist where housing once stood. New housing both council owned and private sector 'bought' housing is planned to regenerate the area with some already built in Cobham St, Bell St (both private) and Shankland Grove(council) already built.
