The pipe bridge and weir at Glasgow Green. This structure separates the fresh water of the River Clyde to its east from the salty, tidal waters to its west. Weirdly, this means much Glasgow sits on the coast of the North Atlantic Ocean and not on the banks of the River Clyde!

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.

A ship passing the remains of the Lang Dyke opposite Dumbarton Rock as it heads down the Clyde from Glasgow and out to sea.

This is impressive bit of engineering was built by John Golborne in the 1770s as part of efforts to create a deep water channel all the way up to Glasgow. It still helps keep the channel open to shipping to this day.

The Clyde at Dumbarton Rock, with channel markers showing the position of the Lang Dyke, (lower right to middle left).

Constructed in 1773, the Lang Dyke aimed to constrain and speed up the flow of water, and so help deepen the channel by scouring.
