Looking down the Clyde from Boden Boo Beach, with its many layers of history. On the right is the Bell Monument, commemorating the founder of the world's first commercial passenger steamship route in 1812 which connected Glasgow, Helensburgh and Greenock. Just visible on the left is the Lang Dyke, built in the 1770s to help create a navigable channel through the Clyde Estuary to the city.

Erskine Hospital Ferry Lodge on the banks of the Clyde to the West of Glasgow. The HES listing gives a date of construction of around 1825, but one of its gables has a date of 1860 on it.

Boden Boo Beach with the Erskine Bridge in the background. My choice for a New Year's Day walk to help get 2024 going in the right direction.

Old wooden posts on Boden Boo Beach on the southern bank of the Clyde just beyond the Erskine Bridge.
I don't know the origins of these posts, but they may be connected to John Golborne's 1770s engineering efforts to create a navigable channel up the Cylde as far as the Broomielaw in Glasgow.

The Erskine Bridge across the Clyde as seen from Boden Boo Beach at today's low tide.
I always love it when the tide is right to do the morning dog walk along here.

Looking back along Boden Boo beach just outside Glasgow, to the Erskine Bridge.
When the weather's like this, it's great to get out of the city, at least for a bit
My photography companion enjoying the beach at Boden Boo (the closest beach to Glasgow).
