A new bridge was opened last month close to the Riverside Museum linking Govan with Partick so enabling pedestrians and cyclists to cross the Clyde.  It is one of the largest opening footbridges in Europe with its main 99m long span able to rotate to allow ships, including the paddle ship Waverley, to pass through.  There used to be a ferry which could carry cars until the Clyde Tunnel was built in the 1960s and now it is anticipated that the bridge will be well used by visitors to the adjacent Riverside Museum and the Glenlee tallship, and will improve the economic conditions in Govan.
It is the third bridge to have been built this century on this section of the Clyde after the bridges unofficially called the Squinty Bridge in 2006 and the Squiggly Bridge in 2009  but so far it has not yet an unofficial name but the Pointy Bridge seems a possible choice.
After that S and I visited the Riverside Museum and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum before she revisited places in the city centre which were familiar to her before she moved to Gemany. She thought that the deterioration of former shopping areas was very pronounced although Princes Square remains attractive
