Donald's Light

(Or Donald's Quay Light; both names are found on old maps. Donald's Quay, formerly located in this area, was the site of a ferry crossing.)

To see this beacon in context, and for an informative account of the history of the immediate area, see NS4572 : River beacon on the railway wall. For another nearby view of the beacon, see NS4572 : Buoy by the River Clyde; for another view of the light in context, see NS4573 : Sea wall and Donald's Light.

[Note that care is needed when examining the beacon; the wooden platform beside it is very old, with holes that are large enough to fall through.]
