Brief introduction of Clyde River

The source of this river is about 170km (106 miles) from the southern highland swamp. It flows through the center of Glasgow, the largest city, flows into Clyde Bay and flows into the North Channel connecting the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, with a total length of 176km, which is the third longest river in Scotland. There are many fish in the upper reaches, crossing the valley to the north and turning sharply to the northwest near Bigger. Within 6.4 kilometers (4 miles) of Clyde Falls, the drop is 75 meters (250 feet). In order to make use of local water power, a cotton mill and several small hydropower stations were built here at the beginning of the 9th century. The wide valley formed near Crosford has a large area of cultivated land and is famous for producing Claydale horses. The economy of the northern Hamilton basin is dominated by coal mining and heavy industry.
