Synopsis
This evocative collection of photographs of the Clyde and its people is a unique chronicle of the life and times of the river - from the halycon days when resorts like Rothesay, Largs, Ayr and Prestwick were a playground for the people of Clydeside, and passenger steamers like the Waverley plied their trade to and fro across the Firth, to the dark days of the Clydeside blitz, and the golden age of shipbuilding, when battleships and ocean liners sailed majestically down the river and into legend.

From the Back Cover
From uncertain origins in the Lanarkshire hills, the waters of the Clyde wind their way down to the sea, running through places whose names have come to be known the world over as a result of their association with the great river.
In the upper reaches, Bonnington Linn and Corra Linn inspired Turner and Wordsworth and provided the setting for Sir Walter Scott's 'Old Morality'. Further downstream, the river became the focal point of Glasgow's spectacular industrial success, as the shipbuilders of Scotstoun, Govan, Linthouse, Clydebank, Port Glasgow and Greenock made "Clydebuilt" a byword for quality. The great days of shipbuilding may now seem like a distant memory, but the names of the yards - Stephen Connell, Fairfield, Barclay Curle, Yarrow, john Brown, Denny, Scott and Lithgow - and the achievements of those who created some of the world's finest ships, are etched in history.
