Glasgow to Milngavie [2010].
This is the walk from Glasgow City centre to Milngavie and the start of the 95(soon to be 96)-mile West Highland Way and commences from the foot of Oswald Street at the George V Bridge, commissioned in 1914 but with delays due to the First World War, not completed and opened until 1928! Despite its appearance as a fine masonry bridge, the bridge is actually built of reinforced concrete box girders, faced with Dalbeattie granite. Under the one way system favoured by the roads department of Glasgow Council, the Bridge now acts as a feeder bridge into the City centre. From the end of the Bridge steps leads down the side of the Casino onto the walkway above the River Clyde and a stroll of under an hour leads to the Tall Ship Glenlee, denoted as the new starting point for the Kelvin and Allander Walkway which is subsequently followed.
It was a hot blue-sky day in the City with the buildings on the south-side as well as the bridges all reflecting in the River. The 1970 structure of the Kingston Bridge comes into view above and just beyond the Renfrew Ferry (now located on the north side of the River Clyde). In 1967 work began on the Kingston Bridge which was the second longest spanning pre-stressed concrete bridge in Britain. It was opened in 1970 by the Queen Mother and at peak hours is one of the busiest sections of road in Europe!
The 2006-built Clyde Arc is perhaps the current spectacular feature on the River. Completed in 2006 the Arc crosses the river on a significantly skewed alignment which was dictated by the availability of suitable landing points on the south side. The foundations are all fully piled to rock some 30 metres below river bed level and the bridge serves as a link for public transport between the SECC and the north bank developments and the south bank media village, residential, commercial and leisure developments.
Bell's Bridge was constructed in 1988 and links the Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre with the Glasgow Garden Festival site. It comprises of three spans, two of which are suspended by cable stays from a needle shaped pylon. The cable stayed spans can rotate horizontally on the south pier to allow passage for larger vessels. The Millennium Bridge was constructed in 1988 to link the Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre with the Glasgow Garden Festival site.
The walk from the City to Milngavie is an approximate 13-mile walk and after passing the helipad the Tall Ship Glenlee berth is apparently regarded now as the starting point for the walk through the parks to Milngavie. Current literature depicts the subsequent walk from there as 10.75 miles. Kelvingrove Park was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton and is a classic example of a Victorian Park. Its design and setting on the banks of the River Kelvin enhance and compliment the many magnificent buildings which surround and the world renowned Art Gallery and Museum prominently featured within it. For walkers though, the Park forms part of the link walk to the start of the famous West Highland Way.
Before picking up the waymarked trail through the park its worth having a look at the iconic memorial to the Cameronians regiment, located just off the park entrance, that powerfully conveys the harsh realities of First World War trench warfare. This bronze figure group consists of an advancing soldier, machine gunner and their fallen compatriot and induces a heartbreaking sense of realism rarely displayed in a war memorial. The sculptor Lindsey Clark was an army captain who had been awarded a DSO for bravery and the inscription on the monument was later updated to incorporate the fallen from the Second World War.
Back on the Trail it's a minor detour for a glimpse of the seated bronze statue of Lord Lister in academic robes, executed by George Henry Paulin. Lister was the pioneer of antiseptics and resided in Woodside Terrace. In 1860, he was Professor of Surgery at Glasgow University combining this with work at the Royal Infirmary. Next is Lord Kelvin (1824- 1907), in the academic robes of Cambridge University, his Alma Mater, 'with notebook and pen in hand, and with a mariner's compass and a navigation sounding machine tucked in to the back of his chair'. Also seen from the Trail is the wonderful granite monument by William Kellock Brown in memory of the Scottish writer and historian, Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881). The monument comprises a rugged, largescale hewn torso and head which appears to grow out of a block of stone and was erected by public subscription in 1916. The Trail then passes the monument by sculptor William Birnie Rhind. This depicts a soldier or army scout of the HLI straddling a rocky eminence and is memorable both for his jaunty pose and for the attention given to the costume detail. This is the earliest war memorial in the Park and was erected to commemorate men of the Highland Light Infantry who fell in the South African 'Boer' War (1899-1902).

World Hovercraft Cruise Celebration 2016
Castles, river fortresses, abandoned submarines, quaint pubs, and lots of epic mud flats. It's only accessible by hovercraft and we did it all!
This video was primarily one day out of a week long event in celebration of the 2016 World Hovercraft Championships and the 50th Anniversary of the Hoverclub of Great Britain.
Most of the hovercraft you see were manufactured by the British Hovercraft Company (Hoverstream in North America), although there are a few by Vortex Hovercraft, Norfolk Hovercraft, and also a couple homebuilts.
For more information about hovercraft, or to try one out for yourself, contact us at Hoverstream!

Age is More: Meet Norman Ethridge
Meet Norman Ethridge, a participant in The Revera and Reel Youth Age is More Film Project, created in celebration of Senior’s Month (June) in Ontario. The Project brings together youth and older adults in creative collaboration to foster intergenerational friendships and combat ageism.
Learn about other older Canadians' experiences as filmed by Canadian youth at Ageismore.com.
As a little boy, Norm would go to the airport and watch the planes fly to Paris every day. This was the beginning of his interest in airplanes and travelling the world. Norm reminisces about his time as part of the Royal Navy and shares that after moving to Canada to continue his aviation career, he had the opportunity to share this passion with mechanic students, as a leader at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Now, a celebrity in the aviation world, known for rebuilding one of two remaining air-worthy Lancaster bombers, Norm remembers those who died in World War 2.
This film was produced for The Revera and Reel Youth Age Is More Film Project, a creative collaboration between youth and older adults in order to celebrate older Canadians through story-telling and film.
Ageism is Canada's most widely tolerated form of social discrimination, so The Revera and Reel Youth Age Is More Film Project was designed to shed light on ageism, challenge the assumptions of aging and recognize the valuable contributions of older adults to society.
Coal Trailer (1942)
Titles read: M OF I GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.
Title: COAL superimposed over shot of a steam train racing along a railway track.
Brief shots of aircraft factories and warships at sea as commentator urges us to save coal.
In a studio set of a living room a middle-aged couple listening to commentator on the radio argue about saving coal, wondering what they are to use for fuel in the winter. The commentator starts to talk to them through the radio, encouraging them to order their coal now (for winter) and make 10% of it coke or anthracite. The woman asks if coke can make a really good fire and the voice explains how to get the best results from it. We magically see a fire appear in their fireplace.
When the voice has finished, the radio disappears too. The man says Oi! What about our radio? We want to hear ITMA!. Superimposed over shot of the fire are the words: But don't forget ORDER YOUR WINTER FUEL NOW and TAKE 10% in COKE OR ANTHRACITE.
Note: according to paperwork, the trailer that accompanied this issue was about salvage - with a rhyming or sung commentary; see separate record. This 'Coal' trailer may belong to a different issue.
