Desk Based Assessment (6 June 2016)
Nothing is now visible in the River Clyde of the Sandhead Perch, a navigation aid that once marked the northern edge of the deepwater channel. It is depicted on an 1846 chart of the river (Greenock to Dumbarton), published by the Hydrographic Office in 1850 (NLS: MS.5846/50-- Admiralty Chart 2006).
