The area of '''Strathclyde''' (''valley of the [[River Clyde]]'') was a pre-[[Roman]] kingdom of the Britons ruled from [[Dumbarton]]. It was converted to [[Christianity]] in the 6th century by which time it had expanded to include most of modern [[Ayrshire]]. The name Strathclyde was first used in the 9th or 10th centuries. In 1034 it became one with the [[Scottish]] crown and disappeared as a separate entity.
The word reappeared in the context of the '''Strathclyde Regional Park''' after [[World War II]], followed by the '''Strathclyde University''', finally taking all before it in the government reorganisation of 1975 - the '''Strathclyde region''' incorporated most of south-west Scotland. It was replaced by various unitary authorities in 1996.
