The
River Clyde flows from its source in lowland
Scotland to its mouth near
Glasgow at the
Firth of Clyde, where it flows into the North Channel of the
Irish Sea. The
Clyde Valley[?] near
New Lanark[?] is particulary fertile, and home to many tomato greenhouses and garden centres, as well as being a magnet for tourists. The Clyde is also well-known for its
shipbuilding[?] which has declined in recent years, but saw the launch of such well-known ocean liners as the
Queen Mary
and the
Queen Elizabeth 2.
