Commonwealth Flotilla

The River Clyde was awash with colour as 250 boats joined the Commonwealth Flotilla, sailing from Greenock to Glasgow as part of the celebrations for the 2014 Commonwealth games.

Small cabin cruisers and tall ships all formed a procession up the river with Calmac ferry Lochinver at the front.

The boats were decked out with bunting and the crews looked to be enjoying thier time in the limelight as the crowds gathered on the shore to cheer them on their way.

Gourock

A couple of photos taken from Ashton Road in Gourock.

During the summer there are a large number of boats lying moored off Gourock Yacht Club.

The Argyll hils make a wonderful backdrop.
