Summary

Description
English: River beacon on the railway wall When the Lanarkshire & Dunbartonshire Railway built their line alongside the Forth & Clyde Canal and the River Clyde between Old Kilpatrick and Bowling they had to reclaim some land from the river and provided this concrete river wall to support the line and adjacent sidings. In the process Donald's Quay, accessed by the Ferrydyke bascule bridge over the canal, also disappeared. However, a long footbridge was provided from the canal bridge across the railway tracks, descending on to a platform outside the river wall and surrounding this beacon so that its light could be maintained. In the far distance it is possible to make out the sheds of the disused Frisky Wharf shipyard at Bowling and, to their left, Dumbarton Rock.
