If you compare the jetty on this image with that on SPW049794 you will note tha two mooring ropes and the little group of men.

Just west of Dunglass Castle, on River Clyde. I rest my case.

Note also Image reference SPW049794 - Date 24th March 1936.

It was probably taken a minute or so earlier and shows the jetty in its entirety and all of the inlet on the north bank of the river. The boat which is moored in the inlet is positioned such as not to appear in this image, i.e. in SPW049790.

Note also Image Ref SPW019463 (Oct 1927) which I believe has the same jetty but not showing the tip of it.

I have 'scanned' the river downstream from Clydebank to a point where it becomes much wider than shown in the photo. The inshot on the north bank with mooring jetties, and just west of Dunglass Castle, is a strong candidate.



I attach Ordnance Survey map of 1937 - it is best evidence I have obtained so far.
