Cloch Lighthouse

The Cloch Lighthouse was designed by  Thomas Smith and his son-in-law Robert Stevenson.. Building was completed in 1797. There appear to be two generations of keepers' houses, the older now used as stores and the more recent having crow-stepped gables.. The short circular-section tower has a corbelled walkway and triangular windows. The foghorns were added between 1895 and 1897.


Six of us were walking to develop a club walk at Inverkip on the River Clyde.  We had a good day, walked eight miles plus, and with a few tweaks, we have a good walk to do in a few months time.  On our way home we passed the Cloch Lighthouse and stopped for a picture.


Our weather today was changeable, sunshine and showers, the showers heavy at times, but it didn't dampen our spirits, only our walking gear.
