Rhubarb :: Rhus
 

Rhu is a village in Scotland. The traditional spelling of its name was "Row", but it was changed around 1920 so that outsiders would pronounce it correctly (although "Roo" might have been a better phonetic spelling).

It lies just west of the town of Helensburgh, on the Firth of Clyde. It is in the historic county of Dunbartonshire but the present administrative county of Argyll and Bute.

It is a base for yachting. It includes a point, just opposite another point near Rosneath, which forms what is known as either the "Rhu Narrows" or the "Rosneath Narrows" at the mouth of the Gare Loch.
