Glasgow
Recognised as the City of Culture in 1990 and now lauded as one of the liveliest destinations in Europe, Glasgow is a city of outstanding Victorian architecture, leading museums and galleries and, of course, two great waterways.
The Forth & Clyde Canal confidently strides across Scotland from historic Glasgow to the innovative Falkirk Wheel. It terminates west of the city at Bowling Basin – a fascinating place where you can spot all kinds of colourful boats.
Running from Victoria Bridge to the River Kelvin, the new Clyde Walkway has firmly positioned the River Clyde as one of Glasgow’s most popular visitor attractions. But whichever path you follow around this stylish city, a visit to Port Dundas and Spiers Wharf – once the waterway hub of Glasgow – should not be missed.
Walking to work in Glasgow
Glasgow’s business district is conveniently located north of the River Clyde, so it’s easy to take a waterside stroll on your lunch break - or skip the gym and get some fresh air with a level power walk after work.
The River Clyde is also within easy walking distance of Glasgow Central Station – so commuters can avoid waiting for the bus and traverse the city on the Clyde Walkway. Trains run to the Exhibition and Conference Centre, but you can just as easily walk along the towpath and arrive refreshed, energised and ready for the day.
Waterside shopping
St Enoch Shopping Centre is a stone’s throw from the River Clyde – meaning the bargain hunters in your family can get on with the serious business of shopping, while those less keen on retail therapy can relax with a gentle riverside stroll.
