The River Clyde, at 170km, is the third longest river in Scotland. The catchment has a surface area of 3,200km2 (of which 26.3km2 is freshwater lochs and reservoirs), and a total river length of 4,244km. The River Clyde catchment crosses the boundaries of ten Council areas: East Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Glasgow City, Falkirk, Inverclyde, North Ayrshire, North Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, South Lanarkshire and West Dunbartonshire and these are home to 34.4% of Scotland’s human population.
Where are the Upper and Lower Clyde catchments?
For fishery management purposes, the Clyde River Foundation partitions the Clyde system into the Upper and Lower sub-catchments. The upstream limit of access to migratory fish in the River Clyde is Stonebyres Falls near Lanark. This is therefore an appropriate partition between what we consider to be the Upper and Lower Clyde sub-catchments.
The map below shows the extent of the River Clyde catchment. A more fully interactive map of the sub-catchments is currently under development.
