- 1斯特拉斯克萊德（蘇格蘭中西部舊行政區，1996 年裁撤；今多指史崔克萊大學）
A former local government region in central and western Scotland, built around the River Clyde, with Glasgow as its centre. It existed from 1975 to 1996 and was very large — it held roughly half of Scotland's people — and in 1996 it was broken up into 12 separate councils. So when you meet the word in a modern text, it is usually either history, or one of the organisations that kept the old name: the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow is the best-known, and Strathclyde Police was the force there until 2013. The name is much older than the 1975 region, though: in the early Middle Ages there was a British kingdom of Strathclyde in the same valley. Beginner rarely need this word except when reading about Scottish universities or Scottish history.
組成來自蘇格蘭蓋爾語 Srath Chluaidh：strath 是「寬闊的河谷」，Clyde 是克萊德河。合起來就是「克萊德河谷」。strath 這個字在蘇格蘭地名裡到處都是，看到它就知道那裡有一條河和一片谷地。
同家族的字
- Clydethe river itself — the second half of the name
