The River Kelvin (Scottish Gaelic: Abhainn Cheilbhinn) is a tributary of the River Clyde in northern and northeastern Glasgow, Scotland. It rises on the moor south east of the village of Banton, east of Kilsyth. At almost 22 miles (35 km) long, it initially flows south to Dullatur Bog where it falls into a man made trench and takes a ninety degree turn flowing west through Strathkelvin and along the northern boundary of the bog parallel with the Forth and Clyde Canal. The University of Glasgow is situated by the river, in Gilmorehill. In 1892, the title of Baron Kelvin was created for physicist and engineer William Thomson, a professor at the university. The name "kelvin" for the unit of temperature, chosen in honour of Lord Kelvin, thus traces its origins to the river.

The Govan-Partick Bridge is a new bridge under construction in Glasgow, Scotland, across the River Clyde, close to the Riverside Museum.The 110-metre bridge will carry pedestrians and bicycles between Govan south of the river and Partick to the north. The V-shaped pylon design is inspired by the historic cranes at the riverside. It will be one of the largest opening footbridges in Europe.The work is intended to improve the economic conditions in Govan (which is a deprived area of the city) and is linked to the Glasgow University and Glasgow City Council-led 'West End Innovation Quarter'. The bridge will land at Water Row in Govan where a mixed use development of housing and commercial space is planned.

Govan ( GUV-ən; Cumbric?: Gwovan?; Scots: Gouan; Scottish Gaelic: Baile a' Ghobhainn) is a district, parish, and former burgh now part of south-west City of Glasgow, Scotland. It is situated 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west of Glasgow city centre, on the south bank of the River Clyde, opposite the mouth of the River Kelvin and the district of Partick. Historically it was part of the County of Lanark. In the early medieval period, the site of the present Govan Old churchyard was established as a Christian centre for the Brittonic Kingdom of Alt Clut (Dumbarton Rock) and its successor realm, the Kingdom of Strathclyde. This latter kingdom, established in the aftermath of the Viking siege and capture of Alt Clut by Vikings from Dublin in AD 870, created the sandstone sculptures known today as the Govan Stones. Govan was the site of a ford and later a ferry which linked the area with Partick for seasonal cattle drovers. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, textile mills and coal mining were important; in the early-nineteenth century, shipbuilding emerged as Govan's principal industry. In 1864, Govan gained burgh status, and was the fifth-largest burgh in Scotland. It was incorporated into the City of Glasgow in 1912.

Govan subway station is a station serving the area of Govan in Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on the south side of the River Clyde. Just to the south of the station is the main depot and test track for the Glasgow Subway. The station is located near the historic Govan Old Parish Church. This station forms an interchange station, being adjacent to Govan bus station. This combined with the fact that the subway to Partick forms the only rail link across the Clyde west of the city centre means that it is one of the busier stations. Annual passenger boardings have fallen below one million in recent years and were recorded at 990,000 in 2004/05.The station has two platforms. Prior to closure for modernisation in 1977 the station was called Govan Cross. The appearance of cracks in the roof of the old station led to the premature closure of the unmodernised railway in 1977. As part of the resulting modernisation programme, the station's surface buildings were replaced and its single island platform changed to a dual side platform arrangement. Govan (under its former name of Govan Cross) is one of the stations mentioned in Cliff Hanley's song The Glasgow Underground.Govan includes a lift and escalator. Along with St Enoch subway station, it is one of two Glasgow Subway stations that is wheelchair accessible.On 29 June 2011, a man died after being hit by one of the service's rolling stock at 09:12.
