Field Visit (26 October 2017)
This navigation light, which is first depicted on the 1:1250 OS Grid map (1958, Sheet NS 4672SW-A) and annotated ‘Old Kilpatrick Light (Group Flashing Red)’, stands on the NE bank of the River Clyde 130m downstream from the Erskine Ferry (NS47SE 205). It comprises a rectangular concrete plinth into which a red-painted iron pole with a light on top has been set. The light is accessed by a ladder that extends half way down the pole from beneath a small square platform with railings.
