Clutha Pub, Glasgow
Introduction
Today, I visited one of Glasgow's best known pubs, namely the Clutha. Location is Stockwell Street, a short walk from the city centre.
Information on the Clutha
The name 'Clutha' is the ancient name for the River Clyde which flows just a few yards away.
The pub has a long history but has now evolved into a cultural hub for the city, attracting musicians, artists and locals seeking a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.Here, there is a commitment to live music including folk, a feature which has been influential in establishing the pub's reputation as one of Glasgow's best music venues.

Clutha is remembered for a disastrous event on November 29th 2013 when a helicopter crashed onto the pub's flat roof, killing three crew and seven patrons inside.More information can be found here.
Here is an image of the helicopter being recovered.
