I found out that there were some (called 'Inches') within the city boundaries. One of these was 'Whyte Inch' whose name has of course survived. Intriguingly there was also one called 'Ron'.
Downstream from Whyt Inch were Buck inch, King's Inch at Renfrew (where Inch castle once stood), and Sand Inch at Inchinnan.

Blimey - that's almost a foot!
I find myself in the fortunate position of owning a little slice of The Clyde, but no islands unfortunately. There are quite a few small ones here and there all the way up to Kirkfieldbank that I know of, and it would be nice if they'd been overlooked by The Powers That Be and all I had to do was plant the ancestral Mac flag to claim one or two. Wonder if the Clyde wasn't dredged again if those Glasgow islands would one day reappear?
