A plaque on the buoy reads 'Clyde Lighthouses Trust. This buoy was laid down by the Trustees at Rosneath Patch in 1880. It was the first flashing buoy to be established to aid navigation. D & T Stevenson, Engineers to the Trustees.' Unfortunately, the cycle path planner did not make allowances for bypassing the buoy.
