Firth of Clyde, Marine estuary on the west coast of Scotland.
The Firth of Clyde extends from Glasgow through deep coastal waters, sheltered from the Atlantic Ocean by the Kintyre Peninsula.
The maritime route played a central role during World War II as a naval base for Allied forces and assembly point for Atlantic convoys.
Multiple Victorian-era coastal towns developed into resort destinations, with Gourock, Largs, and Rothesay attracting numerous holiday visitors.
Regular ferry services operated by Caledonian MacBrayne connect the mainland to inhabited islands including Arran, Bute, and Great Cumbrae.
The Highland Boundary Fault crosses through the Firth at Toward Point, creating distinct geological formations in the regional landscape.
