Protecting and promoting the evolving maritime heritage of the tidal river clyde

ABOUT US

Welcome...

We are a research, networking and advocacy social enterprise concerned with the protection and promotion of maritime heritage along the River and Firth of Clyde. We work in partnership with diverse organisations to raise awareness of the issues impacting on the maritime heritage of the region.

 

We see heritage in a much broader context than history and museums, which are only a part of the picture. Heritage is a legacy from past traditions as well as what we create now and pass on to future generations. This means looking at contemporary and evolving culture, economic activity, innovation, new technology and sustainable development.

Through the Clyde.Scot website we are building a crowd-sources listing of event and attractions in the region, as well as feature articles and digital heritage resources.
