SPECTACULAR images of a new bridge being transported upriver have been captured by a keen photographer.
Mark Gardner took these drone photos of the new Renfrew Bridge as it passed by Gourock on its way to Glasgow.
The new structure is being transported by barge, with calm and sunny conditions for the journey along the River Clyde.
Renfrewshire Council says the striking design of the bridge draws on the west of Scotland's rich shipbuilding heritage, and when it's up and running, it will use a cable stay system, similar to the Queensferry Crossing.
Each 'leaf' of the bridge will open and close horizontally.
The structure will span 184m from Renfrew to the boundary with Glasgow and West Dunbartonshire, and will include a two-lane road bridge across the River Clyde for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
