In 1999, it was bought by the Clyde Maritime Trust, and returned to the Clyde in 2002. It was moved to its current location, next to the Riverside Museum, in 2013, and can be seen from the northern approach to the new pedestrian bridge between Govan and Partick.

These ferries were needed as bridges could not be built across it without hindering movement of ships up and downstream.

Ferry No. 8 at Kelvin Harbour in Glasgow. This double-ended ferry was one of many owned and operated by the Clyde Navigation Trust to move people and vehicles back and forth across the Clyde.

⚛️ Throwback to #GlasgowScienceFestival at the #RiversideMuseum - we had so many curious people and many kids (scientists to be?) enjoying our table top games - from targeted therapy to cell sorting. 💉🔬 It is inspiring to see how #publicengagement is actively pursued in the UK. For more to come! 📣

Unlike the London Undergound it's entirely subterranean, and when it first opened, it used a cable-hauled system, meaning it was much cleaner as the tunnels weren't filled with the smoke from steam locomotives.

Opened in 1896, the Glasgow underground lies between 7 feet (at Kinning Park) and 155 feet (beneath the West End) below the city, and was the first in the world to be referred to as a subway.

The Riverside Museum is worth a visit, with many exhibits, displays and Glasgow-based facts and information to find out more about. It’s also worth taking a minute to appreciate that exterior though… a striking building for sure!

The irony, of course, is that the Riverside Museum in home to Glasgow's transport museum, and there had previously been talk about seeing if these lines could be used to run a heritage tram along this section of the waterfront.

They've been removed as part of work currently going on between the old Queen's Dock Hydraulic Pump house and the Riverside Museum. Until this happened, this was probably the longest surviving stretch of tram lines left in the city.
