Clydesdale Scullers Head

2025 Event: Saturday 25th October

SCULLER HEAD NOTICE 2025

Division 1 (11am): Senior Singles and Junior Doubles

Division 2 (2:30pm): Junior Singles and Senior Doubles

Introduced in 1967, Clydesdale Scullers Head is a processional race; it was initially single sculls only but in 2007 a second division was added for double sculls. In 2025 we will be holding junior and senior single and double sculls in separate divisions to aid clubs with boat sharing.

Both race divisions are run over a 4km course on the River Clyde, from Dalmarnock Bridge to the Western Edge of the View Platform in Glasgow Green. Local knowledge is an advantage, but no substitute for nerve and determination.

At Clydesdale Scullers Head your finishing position from the previous year (single sculls only) determines your starting position for the current year. All new entries start at the back of the pack. The fastest sculler from the previous year then leads the other competitors who are set off at 10 second intervals.
