The PO directories are also available to view here www.nls.uk/family-history/directories/post-office/index.cfm?place=Greenock

I find viewing them under the option of 'view on line' an easier/quicker option than the pdf version, but that might be just me!

The whole range of historical PO directories available for Scotland can be seen here www.nls.uk/family-history/directories/post-office/
