In Focus
The Renfrew to Yoker
ferry provides a passenger-only ferry service across the 200m wide
River Clyde between Renfrew on the
south bank and Yoker on the north bank. Since April 2010 the service has
been operated by Clyde Link. Ferries have been crossing the Clyde for
millennia. Opinions differ about the history of this route,
though by some accounts there was a ferry operating a little downstream
of the current crossing as early as 1614. ( More

Featured Book
Thicker Than Water by Ken Lussey (15 September 2024).
A compelling murder mystery set in northern Scotland. Callum Anderson and Jenny Mackay are spending Hogmanay at Sarclet Castle in Caithness
when they are asked to investigate the brutal murder of a young woman at nearby Sarclet Broch in 1943, a woman whose ghost is believed to haunt
the castle. What seems the coldest of cold cases is not the first murder of a young woman at the broch. Nor is it the last.
On the day that Callum and Jenny arrive, there is a third fatal stabbing there.
