A city in the southeast of West Dunbartonshire, in the mid-west of Scotland, UK. It is located on the north bank of the River Clyde, in the northwest suburbs of Glasgow. Until the 1870s it was a farming area, but various industries such as sewing machines and cement developed thereafter. Shipbuilding is a particularly important industry, and the Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, and Queen Elizabeth II were built here. During World War II the city suffered extensive damage from air raids, and was rebuilt after the war based on a new urban plan. However, today shipbuilding and other heavy industries are no longer carried out here, and instead the city produces drills and other equipment related to the North Sea oil fields. Population: 29,610 (2004 estimate). Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
イギリス,スコットランド中西部,ウェストダンバートンシャー南東部の都市。グラスゴーの北西郊,クライド川の北岸に位置する。1870年代までは農村地帯であったが,その後ミシンやセメントなど各種工業が発展。特に重要な産業は造船業で,『クイーンメアリー号』や『クイーンエリザベス号』,『クイーンエリザベス2世号』もここで建造された。第2次世界大戦では空襲によって広範囲にわたり大被害を受け,戦後は新しい都市計画に基づいて復興したが,今日では造船などの重工業は行なわれず,掘削ドリルなど北海油田関連用品の生産が行なわれている。人口 2万9610(2004推計)。
