NS3274 : Lighthouses at Port Glasgow

near to Port Glasgow, Inverclyde, Great Britain

Lighthouses at Port Glasgow

These lighthouses mark a bend in the navigable channel in the Clyde. As the name suggests, Port Glasgow was once the main port of Glasgow which is 20 miles up-river. The town turned to shipbuilding after the channel to Glasgow was opened in the 1880s. See NS3274 : Perch lighthouse for a closer view of The Perch in the background.

Note also the WWII defence post.
