Clota

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In Celtic mythology, Clota was the patron goddess of the River Clyde. Perhaps worshiped by the local Damnonii tribe who held the territory which later was to become the Kingdom of Strathclyde. The Damnonii allied themselves with Rome who recorded and mapped the Clota estuary. During the Antonine period the Romans built the Antonine Wall from the Forth to the Clyde and created a causeway stretching across the 'Clota' which linked the forts at Bishopton, Greenock and Largs, to the Antonine Wall.
