Clydesdale Regatta

Clydesdale Regatta

Next Race – 25th May 2024

In 1857, the first known main regatta took place on the Clyde. The first Clydesdale annual Regatta was held in 1862, with the Illustrated London News describing it as the “Scottish Henley”. The finish was around the area where Clydesdale’s boathouse was eventually built in 1905.

Today, the Summer Regatta still runs over the same course as in 1857. The long course is 1500m, starting at Polmadie bridge and finishing at Clydesdale Boathouse, and the short course runs from just past the South Portland suspension bridge.

Details of the next event and how to enter will be available here closer to the date.
