The Clyde is the backdrop to every story the city has to tell of the past two centuries. If Glasgow was considered the Second city of the empire, it was something that the Clyde had to take credit for.
The impact of the Clyde on the city of Glasgow took many forms, its role as a highway to the world and a birthplace for the great ships, allowed Glasgow to become the “Second City of the Empire”.
The Clyde brought wealth, prosperity, employment and opportunity.

The Clyde, the shipyards, the tenements that housed the shipyard workers and the markets that sold them goods have all made Glasgow. It's funny though, how the Clyde is not present in the life of the city anymore.
The Clyde is now abandoned, desolated from the culmination of city life, into humble occasional river festivals, postcard pictures and as a mere background to new waterfront architectural projects. Isn't the Clyde worth more efforts from the city officials, or am I just being too romantic?!
