New Short Film Unveils £125 Million Vision to Revitalize Glasgow’s Historic Landmark

A newly released short film offers an exclusive look into the ambitious £125 million regeneration plans for the iconic Govan Graving Docks on the River Clyde.

Titled Rising Tides: Govan Graving Docks Rebirth, the short film is the work of BAFTA Scotland award-winning filmmaker Chris Leslie. Through stunning visuals and in-depth interviews, the film delves into the transformative vision behind the multi-million-pound project, exploring its historical significance, architectural potential, and the impact it could have on the local community.

Once a thriving hub of shipbuilding and maritime industry, the Govan Graving Docks have remained largely abandoned for decades. The redevelopment aims to breathe new life into the area, restoring its heritage while introducing modern elements that will make it a vibrant cultural and economic center once again.

The film captures the voices of key stakeholders, from architects and historians to community leaders and developers, shedding light on the challenges and aspirations driving the project forward. With a blend of archival footage and newly filmed material, Rising Tides paints a compelling picture of the docks’ past, present, and future.
