The Squiggly Bridge - the latest crossing over the River Clyde - was formally opened to the public a week ago.

This unique S-shaped crossing was designed to link Tradeston on the south side of the river with the International Financial Services District and the city centre. It has already proved a big hit with pedestrians and cyclists thanks to its striking design and improved links.

Locals admitted they were also pleased just to have access to a nearby post office following a wave of closures in recent years.
