The River
Clyde : From the Source to the Sea
Keith Fergus
Beginning deep in the hills of South Lanarkshire,
the River Clyde twists her way for over 100 miles
through a remarkably varied landscape, eventually
flowing into the Firth of Clyde near to the towns
of Gourock and Helensburgh. In-between, the River
Clyde journeys along a feral and spacious landscape,
tumbles down huge waterfalls, courses past historic
buildings, by world renowned shipyards, man-made lochs,
a world heritage site, and the magnificent architecture
of her buildings and bridges. It is an integral part
of the Scottish landscape, one rich in wildlife, and
with a history almost unparalleled.
Through beautiful photographs and incisive text, The
River Clyde - from the Source to the Sea celebrates
the outstanding beauty, scale and diversity of this
magnificent river, the crucial part she has played
in the development of Scotland's industry, the battles
fought, the role she has played in the lives of many
from Roman times to present day, and the abundance
of flora and fauna to be found by her banks in all
seasons and weather.
The River Clyde - from The Source to The Sea also
details 12 simple walks which will allow readers to
discover for themselves the magnificence that is The
River Clyde.
