[edit] The Clyde

"Black is the Colour of my true loves hair" where did this great song about the Clyde come from before John Jacob Niles claims to have written it in 1916 and recorded it 1958. I believe it may go back even further to Wallace or at least Blind Harry's day 1500's.

Glasgow Humane Society Somebody removed the link to the Glasgow Humane Society (GHS) website. The GHS handle all of the rescue and recovery from the Clyde. The link is relevant in my opinion.

You can't have a link in the article that has nil relevance to its content - there's no mention of rescue and recovery on the river whatsoever in the article - although it would be an interesting topic to add probably, and then the link would actually belong. Erath 10:57, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Upper Reaches

All of the photographs seem to be from the Glasgow area/lower reaches. Anyone got any from Lanark, for example? --MacRusgail 18:40, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of Name

What is the origin of the name "Clyde"? Gaelic? Brythonic? Unknown? I have no idea myself but it would be a nice thing to have in the article (for the sake of historical linguistics nerds like myself) Reynardthefox 11:21, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
