Overview

Explore Glasgow’s Clyde bridges and let them tell you the tale of the city's development from the pedestrian and horse traffic of the middle ages, through the railway mania of the 19th century, the growth of cars in the 20th century, to today’s need to reduce pollution and reliance on fossil fuels and focus on more active ways of travelling.
On this walk through the city centre bridges you’ll learn about the engineering behind them and see things you may never have noticed before.
