Riverside Museum
Govan · 1.9 miles
Set on the River Clyde at Pointhouse Quay in Glasgow’s Partick district, the Riverside Museum occupies a striking, angular building designed by Zaha Hadid Architects with engineering by Buro Happold. Opened to the public in June 2011 as part of the Glasgow Harbour regeneration scheme, the structure won the 2013 European Museum of the Year Award and sits opposite the confluence of the River Kelvin and the Clyde. A pedestrian and cycle link, the Govan–Partick Bridge, has been in use since 2024, providing direct access from the museum across the water to the Govan neighbourhood. The museum’s collections encompass a broad spectrum of transport heritage. Visitors can see the world’s oldest surviving pedal cycle, a substantial assembly of Scottish-built cars and trucks—including examples from Argyll, Arrol-Johnston and Albion—as well as a large showroom display sponsored by Arnold Clark. The Clyde Room holds around 250 ship models that illustrate the River Clyde’s shipbuilding legacy, while the railway and municipal transport galleries feature seven historic Glasgow tramcars, trolleybuses and a reconstruction of a 1930s street scene with a replica subway station and cinema. The site also allows the tall ship Glenlee and other visiting vessels to berth alongside the museum. Opening times are published on the museum’s website, and the venue is reachable on foot or by cycle via the new bridge, with further access through the surrounding Partick area.

The Clydeside Distillery
Kelvinhaugh · 2.5 miles
Located on the River Clyde’s quayside in Glasgow, the Clydeside Distillery occupies the former pump house that once managed water levels for the Queen’s Dock. The site, refurbished in 2017, lies just west of the SEC Centre and is linked to the Kelvinhaugh and Yorkhill neighbourhoods by a footbridge that passes beneath the Clydeside Expressway and the Argyle Line railway. Vehicles reach the distillery via Stobcross Road, which connects to the expressway at the Finnieston and Pointhouse exits. Water used in production is drawn from Loch Katrine in the nearby Trossachs. When production started in 2017, Clydeside became the second active distillery in Glasgow after a century-long gap. The enterprise is operated by Morrison Glasgow Distillers Limited, with Tim Morrison as principal owner and Andrew Morrison as operations director; the family’s historic ties to the dock date back to John Morrison’s 19th-century construction of the original pump house. The distillery’s facilities include two two-tonne Forsyth stills and a capacity of up to 500,000 litres of spirit per year, producing a Lowland-style single malt that entered the market in 2021 under the Stobcross label. Visitors can join interactive tours that showcase the production process, and the premises house a shop and a café. Pedestrian access is provided by the footbridge, while parking is available in the adjacent SEC car park. The location’s industrial setting and proximity to cultural venues such as the SWG3 arts space make it a distinctive point of interest along Glasgow’s waterfront.
