Lots of discussion about the retail & #popups proposals along #RiverClyde this week. Here's one that is ready to be saved. Will the new Clayton Hotel bring new life to it?

Thanks to all submitted for the Building Stories open call. We'll be in touch soon 🙌🏽

There's a warning Britain's most dangerous plant is spreading its roots across Glasgow.

The touch of giant hogweed can cause blisters, 3rd degree burns & even blindness.

Locals say it's now prolific along the banks of the rivers Clyde & Kelvin - Gavin Kirby cycles along both.

Today marks the anniversary of the beginning of the second world war. The River Clyde and its industries played a significant role in the war effort in the UK. The Clydebank area was particularly affected by wartime bombings due to the shipbuilding taking place there.

What would you make of a linear park or civic waterfront space by the Clyde linking all crossings?

How about an event space with quality seating or even a water-taxi?

A lovely watercolour from our collection of the Cloch Lighthouse by James Chalmers (fl 1880-1900). The Cloch opened in 1797 and was designer by Scottish lighthouse engineers Thomas Smith and his son-in-law Robert Stevenson.

What would you make of a linear park/ civic waterfront space by the Clyde linking all crossings? How about an event space with quality seating or even a water-taxi? Let us know if you want to see these improvements take place.

Thunder and Lightning passing through Glasgow in the early hours. Amazing views along the Clyde and Mother Nature once again putting on a fantastic display.

Glasgow City Council have revealed they are carrying out a feasibility study into geothermal energy. The project would involve creating a 6km geothermal well under the banks of the River Clyde. This would help provide cleaner and cheaper energy.
