Titan Crane - Clydebank

Having watched the 'Astoria' berth in Rothesay Dock I turned my attention to the Titan Crane.

My last visit was in 2008 and again, with favourable weather, I opted to buy a ticket and spend some time on site before heading home.

Pleased that I did as there have been some changes with a tour now part of the event.

Bungee jumpers are also a regular feature on weekends - better them than me I have to say.

Would recommend a visit - unless you are wary of heights. Perfectly safe of course, but you are fairly high when on the crane itself.

Astoria - Berthing at Rothesay Dock

Seeing the 'Astoria' heading for Rothesay Dock, and it being a nice sunny morning, I headed to Clydebank to get some photographs.

Weather was changeable but stayed dry, though quite windy.

As always, this is a good spot to watch the tugs at work as they manoeuvre these large tankers through the gap and in to the Dock.
