Just a short drive from Glasgow or Ayr, you can visit the areas on and around the Firth of Clyde. The mouth of the River Clyde begins to open at Dumbarton, just outside Glasgow. The Firth of Clyde boasts waters that are the deepest found off the coast of Britain, with a depth of about 500 feet. On the western edge of the Firth of Clyde, you have the picturesque Kintyre Peninsula. On the eastern edge of the firth, you can walk or bike through the charming countryside of Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park. Inside the firth itself are the Isles of Arran and Bute, known for its history, great landscapes, and lots of opportunities for outdoor activities.
