Cloch Lighthouse


 Cloch Point Lighthouse was built in 1797, and it is located around 3 miles southwest of Gourock. The white tower with its distinctive black band looks across the Clyde estuary to Dunoon on the opposite shore. 

Thomas Smith and Robert Stevenson designed Cloch Point Lighthouse, and the building was completed in 1797.  The older cottages were used as storerooms, and more recent cottages were added later.

The lighthouse was first lit on 11th August 1797 using an oil lantern installed by Smith and Stevenson.  An Argand lamp with reflector replaced this in 1829, and Acetylene gas replaced this around 1900.
