For Chillsider who loves big ladies I give you Big Bertha, the enormous Finnieston crane erected in 1931. She used to lift locomotives, manufactured here for export, onto ships. The new bridge beside her has an offical name but I can only remember its local name - The Squinty Bridge. It makes an elegant wiggle, not visble from this angle, as it crosses the Clyde, but perhaps some folk like their bridges a bit more straight-forward.
