HMS Queen Elizabeth Departing the River Clyde.

HMS Queen Elizabeth left Glen Mallan this morning and headed to Portsmouth.

Despite the COVID Lockdown many managed to get to see her leave the Clyde after her first visit.

A Day on the River

A selection of images from activity in the River Clyde today.

Quite diverse in size and operation, and shows how busy the river can be at times.

Key Opus - Bound for Glasgow

Bulk carrier 'Key Opus' off Greenock as she heads on up to Glasgow this morning.

Lucky to miss the extreme and wintry showers - only the blustery wind to contend with as she passed.

My Day's Events

My day began with a trip to the local GP and as I passed the remains of the old village shop in Langbank I grabbed a few images.

Despite best efforts from the final owners I guess the usage by the locals just wasn't sufficient to keep the shop open.
