Clynder ( Gaelic : An Claon Dearg for "Red Slope") is a small town in the Scottish Unitary Authority Argyll and Bute . It is located on the east coast of the Rosneath peninsula on the banks of the Gare Loch inlet opposite the village of Rhu . Helensburgh is about four kilometers east and Greenock seven kilometers south. The 1971 census recorded 192 residents in Clynder. Thus the number of inhabitants had decreased compared to 229 in 1961. In more recent census data, Clynder is not listed separately.
Clynder is located on the B833, which approximates the coastline of the peninsula. There is no rail link and it was not available in the past. In Clynder there is the Gareloch House, a monument from the highest Scottish monument category A. The country house built in the early 19th century is located on the southern outskirts. In the past, bees were kept in the area for honey production. The heather that grows there is described as being very rich in pollen, which resulted in an extraordinarily high honey yield.
