CLYDESDALE, or STRATHCLYDE, in modern times is that part of the Valley of the Clyde lying within the co. of Lanark, Scotland. This district is celebrated for its orchards and its breed of horses. The orchards extend from the lowest fall of Clyde to Bothwell, a distance of 16 miles, and are well protectedjfrom E. winds by the high ground on the right bank of the river. The orchards consist chiefly of apple trees, with some pears and plums. At present they occupy some 1,200 acres, and realise about 3,000 a year. The Clydesdale horse is supposed to owe its good qualities to inter-breeding with Flanders mares, but this, like other breeds of draught horses in Scotland, is believed by competent judges to have degenerated.
