Overview

The River Clyde has a long and important history at the heart of Scotland’s industrial past. A hub of shipbuilding meant that for decades the area was seen as a place of factories and industry, but now the views and wildlife have taken back over. On this tour, learn about the varied history of this unique area, and hear about the paddlesteamers that once traveled “doon the watter” to take the wealthy on holiday, or to their villas downstream.
