The '''River Clyde''', is the most important river in western-[[Scotland]] and, at 158km (99 miles) long, is the second longest river (after the Tay) in [[Scotland]]. It is formed (at the aptly named Meetwater) by the confluence of Daer Water and Potrail Water in the Lowther Hills of [[Lanarkshire]] near the sources of both the [[River Tweed|Tweed]] and River Annan. It wanders off to the north-east as far as Biggar before heading more or less north-west past Lanark, [[Clydesdale]], [[Glasgow]] and [[Clydesbank]] then enters the [[Firth of Clyde]] near [[Dumbarton]]. | The '''River Clyde''', is the most important river in western-[[Scotland]] and, at 158km (99 miles) long, is the second longest river (after the Tay) in [[Scotland]].
