During the end of the XIX century, some passenger ferries, known as Cluthas, provided a service running up and down the River Clyde in Glasgow. The Clutha bar was popular with the crews and passengers from these Clutha boats. Later known as McLaughlin, in 1992 it returned to its original name. On 29 November 2013, a police helicopter crashed into the Clutha. Ten people died as a result of this accident. The bar was closed until July 2015 when it reopened with a mural on both sides of the pub. This stunning and emotive mural was painted along the walls by EJEK and Rogue One, depicting some of the people who drank and played there, such as Billy Connolly, Jimmy Reid, Stan Laurel, Benny Lynch, Glenda Jackson, Spike Milligan or Frank Zappa. Recently, a new mural of Charles Rennie Mackintosh has been added to celebrate his 150th anniversary.
