From Glasgow to Greenock the banks of the River Clyde have been a centre for shipbuilding for hundreds of years.
Tens of thousands of vessels, including ocean liners, steamers, warships, yachts and tall ships have been built on its shipyards.
More than 300 companies have engaged over the centuries in an industry that at its peak employed thousands of people.
Clydebuilt
The shipyards made Glasgow a powerful and prosperous city and Scotland the world's largest shipbuilding nation.
'Clydebuilt' became a byword for quality, technological innovation and productivity in shipbuilding.
Although only a handful of shipyards remain in the Clyde today, regeneration projects have given the area a new lease of life and a renewed sense of identity.
