Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Sand MPerth, UK882 contributionsWell what can you say about a bridge that is squint spanning the river Clyde? Its very nice at nighttime when all lit up. Im still not sure of why there are two way traffic on one side and one the other way but I guess I will work it out eventuallyWritten 22 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- alibatty🦇Dundee, UK20,730 contributionsThis is a cantilevered, steel & concrete pedestrian /cycle bridge over the river Clyde, that was built in 2009 to connect Tradeston with the financial area on the western side of the city. It was designed by a Danish company ( Dissing & Weitling ) & built at a cost of £7 million. The 100 metre long bridge has a unique and distinctive “S” curved bridge-deck - hence it’s known affectionately as “The Squiggly Bridge”. It’s a recommended sight as part of the Clyde riverwalk, with good views all round.Written 23 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- alibatty🦇Dundee, UK20,730 contributionsThis wrought-iron suspension bridge , 414 ft long , is the very first purpose-built footbridge , built to cross over the river Clyde. It was constructed in 1851 by the Heritors of Gorbals, and links the City Centre on the north , with the Lauriston & Gorbals districts on the southern side. Classical Grecian sandstone pylons either side ( designed by A. Kirkland ) support the wrought iron suspenders and the lattice-girder deck. The ornate Victorian lampholders, once gaslit, are now electrified. It’s a contrast walking over a historical bridge, with modern ones close by - and to get an ever changing view of the city beside the Clyde.Written 6 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Logan HPortland, OR3 contributionsI went across the bridge, one foot in front of the other and each step was harder than the last. The weight of my travels bore down upon me, alas once I crossed the bridge inlet out a deep sigh and the weight was lifted.Written 28 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK186,766 contributionsThis is an odd attraction for Glasgow. The Kingston Bridge is a well-known part of the M8 motorway in Glasgow and the busiest bridge in Europe, carrying over 150k cars everyday over the River Clyde. The bridge is a singled arched bridge spanning the entire 150m width of the river.
It's also vehicle bridge only and I've driven over it many times. Unless your car has broken down, you're likely to be paying attention to the motorway than admiring the views. The bridge isn't much to look at even when walking along the river as it's little more than a giant and plain concrete bridge.Written 1 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It looks a lot like the South Portland Street Suspension Bridge further to the west, except for the two entrances. Both the ends of the bridge have an entrance with a Neoclassical arch of four Corinthian columns supporting a decorative roof. Since the refurbishment in the early 2000s, the bridge has been painted in a fetching dark blue colour. This bridge is a nice way to cross into Glasgow Green if you’re in this part of the city, and the views of the River Clyde are nice too.Written 23 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK186,766 contributionsThis is a somewhat innocuous looking bridge in Kelvingrove Park. It’s a short single elliptical arch bridge across the River Kelvin and a useful shortcut from the western entrances of the park into the interior of Kelvingrove. Built in the late 20th century, it’s very much a Victorian style stone bridge and one of the central features of Kelvingrove as the two ends of the bridge stand monuments. On the western end is a monument to Thomas Carlyle, while the eastern end is a monument to the Highland Light Infantry Regiment. I seem to remember the bridge used to have beautiful lights on the balustrades, but there’s no light anymore and only the pretty iron cast light fittings remain. It’s a popular spot for taking photos as the bridge is quite low with full view of the river below.Written 7 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
