I take look at the heritage and history that surrounds the River Clyde and Loch Lomond area. The places, the people and the politics that formed the area. We live in a beautiful part of the world and I want to share our past and explore this part of Scotland in more depth. We might go back into the mists of time or simply look at a building that means something and find out as much as possible. Whether you live here now or have family who have come from here, I hope you will follow and enjoy.Copyright Paul Murdoch and Robert Ryan World
