Braehead Shopping Centre lies in an old industrial area on the banks of the Clyde. Once a shipping yard, the collapse of Clydeside industry made this piece of land between Renfrew and Glasgow worthless. Until now that is. Braehead offers a Warner Brothers shop, Tiny (terrible) computer showroom, a Games Workshop, photography shops, clothes stores and more. It's a coninient place to shop. That being said, it's a shoppong mall. Expect to be thouroughly annoyed if you are one of those people like me who hate the whole American shopping concept.

The original plan for Braehead was much larger in scale, and included ferries to take people across the Clyde to the centre. That idea was scrapped, but there are still car parks that you may need to stock up on provisions to get across. There are underground car parks, three storey carparks, acres wide car parks. I'd really rather have some trees.
