Cloch, sitting prominently on the rocky foreshore near Gourock, is one of Scotland’s iconic lighthouses, famous as one of the last views emigrants had of the Clyde.  Originally it was designed and built in 1796 by Thomas Smith and his son-in-law Robert Stevenson.  Though Listed and under the protection of a conservation agreement with the National Trust for Scotland, over the years it has been extended and sub-divided and was not in a good condition.
