River Kelvin

The River Kelvin is a tributary of the River Clyde in northern and northeastern Glasgow, Scotland. It ascends on the field south east of the town of Banton, east of Kilsyth. At right around 22 miles in length, it at first streams south to Dullatur Bog where it falls into a man made trench and takes a 90 degree turn streaming west through Strathkelvin and along the northern limit of the swamp parallel with the Forth and Clyde Canal. The stream's first imperative intersection is with the Chantyclear Burn which begins from the edge of Dullatur. It at that point proceeds with its westbound stream being joined by the regularly exhausted Shawend Burn toward the west of Craigmarloch connect.

The following vital tributary is the Garrel at a point south-east of Kilsyth south of Dumbreck Marsh. The Kelvin at that point goes through the extensive surge plain north of Twechar where it is sustained by the Dock Water, Queenzie Burn, the Cast Burn and the Board Burn before achieving Kirkintilloch at its conversion with the more considerable waters of the Glazert and Luggie. It at that point streams past Torrance, wanders through Balmore Haughs, toward the south of Bardowie where it joins the Allander Water, after which it takes a south-westerly course towards Maryhill, Hillhead, through Kelvingrove Park before falling into the River Clyde at Yorkhill Basin in the city of Glasgow.
