More about Fort Matilda

Renfrewshire, Scotland

Fort Matilda sits right on the banks of the River Clyde in Renfrewshire, where the water is calm enough for a quiet stroll but wild enough to keep things interesting. The Royal West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club has been training sailors here for decades, so you can bet there are plenty of local experts ready to lend a hand if your boat decides to take a swim. It's a proper place to gather on a Saturday afternoon, especially when the weather turns crisp and everyone fancies a bit of rowing or just watching from the shore. We've got all the latest news on who's racing and what's coming up, so you won't be missing out on the local water sports scene again.
