..but not as you knoow them.
Near the Cloch Lighthouse on the Firth of Clyde are some structures which have always intruiged me. On yesterday's walk I got the chance of a closer look.
They are below the level of the main road and even from the pavement you might easily miss them tucked into the bank on the rocky shore. They are like shacks. Basic but very strong to withstand winter storms. They face west and the prevailing winds. There is nothing pretty about them. They are mostly black (tarred perhaps) and one seems to be a shipping continer. How did they get it down there? If they do have windows they were boarded over. They don't have signs or names or easy access - thugh one has a flag, another a chimney and I did see two solar panels. The only thing beautiful is the view across the Firth.
I wonder if they began as fishermen's huts but I've not been able to find out much - yet....
