A Saunter along the Clyde

Robert Wyatt failed to turn up as arranged 
at the new Transport Museum 
he did however send this song to make up for his Tardiness 
Marion & Bruce take a stroll along the river Clyde on a free Monday
Sean should we take an Umbrella?
"No need for any protection today lasramblas its going to be glorious".
The Clyde is a short river, little more than 100 miles long, rising in the Lanarkshire hills. Upstream it flows swiftly with spectacular stretches, such as the Falls of Clyde, near Lanark. At Glasgow the river was a shallow estuary with sandbanks and islets known as inches. Downstream, in deep water, Dumbarton Irvine and Greenock were the main ports, with Port Glasgow established by Glasgow merchants in 1662. The Clyde Waterfront project covers 13km of the river from Glasgow Green  in the centre of Glasgow, down the river as far as Dumbarton. 
There are plenty of opportunities to explore along the riverbanks, Glasgow Green provides a welcome green space in the heart of the city and is one of the country's oldest  parks.
