Clydebuilt Cargo and TradeThe River Clyde runs through three hundred years of history at CLYDEBUILT.

This dynamic new attraction on the River Clyde brings to life the story of Glasgow's development from the tobacco lords in the 1700's right up to the 21st century.

  • Kids steer your own ship in the virtual world of the river pilot.
  • Learn to make a fortune as an ocean trader.
  • Take control of a real steam engine.
  • Go aboard the oldest Clydebuilt vessel still afloat.

The museum is home to M.V. Kyles, the oldest Clydebuilt vessel still afloat in the U.K. She is now moored only minutes away from where she was built by Fullerton's of Paisley in 1863. Kyles is a rare survivor, a representative of Clyde shipbuilding dating from the 1870s - a period of expansion of shipbuilding on the west coast of Scotland and in Glasgow.
