Titan Crane is a 150 feet (46 m) high cantilever crane that was built in 1907 in Clydebank, Scotland. It was designed for the construction of battleships and ocean liners at the John Brown & Company shipyard, then the biggest shipbuilding group in the world. It is now a tourist attraction. A £24,600 order for the crane was placed with a Dalmarnock based engineering company, Sir William Arrol & Co. in 1905. Titan was completed two years later. In the late 1960s, the yard was incorporated into Upper Clyde Shipbuilders (UCS), which collapsed in 1971. It was bought from the receivers by the Marathon Manufacturing Company for oil rig construction. In 1980 Marathon sold the yard to the French company Union Industrielle et d’Entreprise (UiE). UIE’s owners, Bouygues Offshore closed the yard in 2001 and the site was earmarked for redevelopment. In 1988 the crane was recognised as a Category A Listed historical structure. The urban regeneration company Clydebank Re-Built started a £3m restoration project in 2005, and the crane opened to the public in time for its 100th birthday in 2007. Following the removal of the Titan crane at Govan, four of these giant cantilever cranes remain on the River Clyde. The others are at Stobcross (the Finnieston Crane), Scotsoun and Greenock.

Bowling Basin a very picturesque spot lies at the western end of the Forth & Clyde canal, encased on one side by the Kilpatrick Hills, and on the other by the world famous River Clyde. The lower basin is overlooked by the Custom House a reminder from the past when the boats were engaged in overseas trade and is now used by British Waterways as the harbour office. Between Lock 39 (disused) and Lock 40 is an area known locally as the Island, this is a small overgrown wooded area abundant with various plants and wildlife. Unusual wildlife seen there include black wild rabbits (melanistic), pipistrelle bats (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) and occasionally wild black mink (Mustela Lutreola). The dedicated picnic area overlooks Bowling Harbour towards Dunglass Castle (Circa 1400 seat of the clan Colquhoun and former home of Charles Rennie Macintosh ), and the Henry Bell Obelisk erected in 1872 (dedicated to Henry Bell who built the worlds first steam ship (the Comet) to travel on open sea, this grassed area is relatively new and has picnic tables with benches and is surrounded by wooden sculptures. Although once a working basin, Bowling is now used mainly by pleasure craft as a base to sailing the West coast of Scotland.
