Glasgow bridges on Clyde

I explored all Glasgow bridges on Clyde yesterday. What a long walk! It took me two and half hours. There are 19 bridges altogether. Some of them are not accessible for pedestrians.

1 Millennium Bridge

2 Bell’s Bridge

3 Clyde Arc

4 Kingston Bridge (motorway, not accessible for pedestrians)

5 IFSD Tradeston Footbridge

6 George the Fifth Bridge

7 Caledonian Railway Bridge (not accessible for pedestrians)

8 Glasgow Bridge, known locally as the Jamaica bridge owing to it being at the foot of Jamaica Street.

9 South Portland Street Suspension Bridge (1853), the oldest surviving bridge in Glasgow.

10 Victoria Bridge (1854)

11 City Union Railway Bridge (not accessible for pedestrians)

12 Albert Bridge (Crown St)

13 Tidal Weir and Pipe Bridge (not accessible for pedestrians)

14 St Andrew’s Suspension Bridge (1856)

15 King’s Bridge

16 Polmadie Bridge

17 Rutherglen Bridge (B763)

18 Dalmarnock Railway Bridge (not accessible for pedestrians)

19 Dalmarnock Bridge (Dalmarnock Rd)

It is recommended to walk along the river at Northside, because at Southside the path along the river was blocked at many places. The Clyde walkway is at the north side of the river.

Primary 3   6 - 7

S3 (Third Year) 13 - 14

S4 (Fourth Year) 14 - 15

S5 (Fifth Year)       15 - 16 Higher

S6 (Sixth Year) 16 - 17   Advanced Higher

After completing S5, students can usually go to Scottish universities. English universities may require students to study to Advanced Higher level (S6), given that the Higher is equivalent to AS-level on the UCAS tariff. As Scottish university courses traditionally have a duration of 4 years, the loss of one year's schooling is compensated by an additional university year.
