Setting
River City is set in the city of Glasgow, in the west of Scotland. The central focus of the show is the fictional West End district of Shieldinch, which was famous for its shipyard (1860–1930). Therefore, Shieldinch's local pub was named after the area's shipbuilding heritage, being called The Tall Ship. In reality River City is filmed in the nearby town of Dumbarton, where there is a purpose built set for the soap.

Famous quotes containing the word setting:
“We don’t arrive at it by standing on one leg or on the first day of our setting out—but though we may jostle one another on the way that is no reason why we should strike or trample—elbowing’s enough.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Teaching Black Studies, I find that students are quick to label a black person who has grown up in a predominantly white setting and attended similar schools as “not black enough.” ...Our concept of black experience has been too narrow and constricting.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
