Cloch or Cloch Point (Scottish Gaelic: stone) is a point on the east coast of the Firth of Clyde, Inverclyde, Scotland. There has been a lighthouse on the point since 1797 to warn ships of The Gantocks, a shipping hazard in the Firth. Later circa 1886, a navigation beacon was constructed on the Gantocks rocks.
