This
combination is the industrial heartland of Scotland
where the population is at its most dense. This is where
the world famous shipyards, steel works, coal mining,
engineering, steam locomotives and tobacco brought fame
to the nation. Workers from the North and Ireland flocked
to the area for the jobs, which, in the early days were
in abundance, thus making the region a hive of industry.
Of course not all the region was or is industrial, for
much agriculture and tourism played and still plays
a great part with the River Clyde at its centre. Just
think of the Clyde Valley fruit farms and orchards with
their wonderful produce and the hardworking farming
communities supplying the daily needs of the country.
