Cloch, a small headland in Innerkip parish, Renfrewshire, at the southward bend of the Firth of Clyde, 1¾ mile E by S of Dunoon, 3 miles SSE of Strone Point, and 33/8 SSW of Barons Point. It has a lighthouse, a circular tower rising 76 feet above the water's level, built in 1797, and showing a fixed white light; and it commands a very brilliant view of the opposite shores of the Firth.
