Synopsis
Long before the Spanish Costas were affordable, the people of Glasgow went 'doon the watter' to the resorts of the Clyde coast for their annual holiday. They travelled on paddle steamers like the Waverley and Jeanie Deans, by stearn train, by bus and by car, to sample the delights of the seaside and bravely dip their toes in the icy waters of the Clyde. Towns like Largs, Millport, Rothesay, Dunoon and Helensburgh thrived as a result, and Glaswegians loved them. Following on from the success of the paperback edition of The Herald Book of the Clyde, Robert Jeffrey and Ian Watson now present the paperback edition of volume 2 of The Herald Book of the Clyde, a unique collection of photographs from the archives of the Herald in Glasgow depicting life 'doon the watter'. This is a nostalgic look at the way we used to live, as well as a fascinating journey around the seaside towns of the Clyde. Robert Jeffrey is Managing Editor of Scottish Media Newspapers, which owns the Herald in Glasgow, and Ian Watson is Head of Library Services at the Herald, looking after one of Europe's largest collections of photographs. Both were born and raised by the Clyde.
