  • The Coast Line
    46 RENFREWSHIRE specimens of trees in all the west of Scotland are to be found in the grounds of Blythswood, Erskine, and Pollok. The uplands of the county are mainly moor and marsh. In autumn they are purple with the flowers of the ling and the heath. The milk-wort, the bog asphodel, and in wetter parts, the cotton grass, are abundant. In the marshes also the butter-wort and the sundew set their traps for unwary insects. All summer the grassy uplands are bright with the tiny, yellow flowers of the tormentil, and the gaily-coloured mountain-pansy. The sunnier slopes of the Gleniffer and Fereneze Braes are especially beautiful with these exquisite little flowers. The hedge- rows of Renfrewshire are not nearly so rich as those of the border counties where the climate is more genial. In addition the low-lying parts of the shire are generally a soil covered with boulder-clay, which gives stiff, cold that is very unfavourable to variety of plant life. 8. The Coast Line. It would not be easy to say at what point in Ren- frewshire the bank of the river ends and the coast of the estuary begins. For navigation purposes the river merges into the sea at Greenock, but a distinct widening of the waters occurs about Langbank, which may therefore be taken as the starting-point of a tour round the Renfrew- shire coast. If the tide is in, covering the ugly mud banks in the foreground, the picture across the water is altogether charming. Here is the best place to view Dumbarton Rock, 47 still grim and threatening as when the tide of battle ebbed and flowed around it (see p.

  • Chapter 76 on the Hydrography of the River
    CHAPTER 76 ON THE HYDROGRAPHY OF THE RIVER CLYDE by John H. Allen 1 INTRODUCTION The River Clyde is one of the major industrial rivers of Scotland and the shipbuilding on the banks of its estuary has been famous for centuries. With the in- crease in the size of the ships being constructed and using the Clyde as a port, steps must be taken to ensure that the Clyde maintains its relative position. In order to study the effect of various proposals for improvements, a large scale hydraulic model involving the simulation of saline stratification and sediment movement has been commissioned by the Clyde Port Authority and is now being constructed and operated under the direction of Professor Frazer and Dr. Barr of the University of Strathclyde. This paper describes some of the field work carried out in con- junction with this model study in order that water and sediment transport may be correctly simulated. GEOGRAPHIC DESCRIPTION The drainage area of the River Clyde and its tribu- taries (Fig.l) is some 1,500 square miles and in its 95 mile path to the sea, the Clyde flows through the rough moorland of the Southern Uplands, where it rises, into the arable farmland of mid-Lanark, before passing through and being polluted by the heavy industrial areas of the counties of Lanark, Dunbarton and Renfrew. The Clyde Estuary (Fig.2) is taken to begin at the tidal weir in the centre of the City of Glasgow. This underflow weir is used to regulate the upland discharge but is not raised or lowered to any set pattern.

Mr Galbraith and Mr Macara have long retired from business, and are enjoying in the evening of their days the repose which a well-spent life ensures. Mr M'Clure still follows his profes- sional avocations, although he has in a large measure left them to younger hands. Mr Robert- son, who was a banker in Greenock in 1836, and resided at Bagatelle, which he built, ultimately took a medical degree, and practised first in Canada and afterwards in Cheshire, where, in the enjoyment of a green old age, he still resides. Mr M'llwraith, whose eye is undimmed and whose natural force is unabated, appears to wear a charmed life and to defy the darts of Time. Mr Lusk iu 1836 had probably not heard the Bells of Bow, as his prede- cessor Whittington did centuries before, and pro- bably had not contemplated migration to the mighty wen on the Thames, but he is now Sir Andrew, a Baronetof the UnitedKingdom, has passed the Lord Mayor's chair, and still discharges eflficiently his manifold duties, public and private, in the great city of London, where, in a striking measure, he illustrates in his own person the reality of Scotch perseverance and grit.

That is, a new aesthetic, or ‘way of seeing’ the Scottish landscape as one defined by ‘everyday’ local landscapes of affiliation, as much as the ‘special’ and spectacular. Such a belief is given added traction with the demographic fact that the majority of Scotland's population inhabits the densely urbanised Central Belt, in which landscape qualities of 'wildness' and 'remoteness' are generally lacking.

Existing data and previous investigations, notably geophysical surveys undertaken by Clydeport, were studied and their results incorporated with the results of a diving investigation undertaken between 1st and 5th March 2009. The Iona I was built by J. & G. Thomson on the Clyde in 1855. After achieving considerable fame as a fast and well-appointed passenger steamer operating in the Firth of Clyde from Glasgow for David Hutcheson & Company, the vessel was bought by a businessman, probably Mr D. McNutt, to run goods to the Confederate States through the Union naval blockade during the American Civil War. After having been converted for this purpose, and whilst leaving the Clyde on the start of its first transatlantic crossing, the Iona I was involved in a collision with another vessel and sank.
