From the Wikipedia article
The disused Park Quay or Fulton's Quay (NS 47436 70692) is located on the old Lands of Park, situated on the south bank of the River Clyde in the Parish of Inchinnan, close to Newshot Island and the old Rashielee Quay. A slipway is also part of the infrastructure, giving access to the dock at low tide, both once served by roads running through the Park Estate from the south. It was recorded as Fulton's Quay in 1830, the name of a previous owner of the Park Estate who may have built it prior to 1801. A fixed light was installed at Park Quay in 1869.

Background
Description
Both the quay and associated slipway were once served by the aforementioned roads that ran to the slipway basin or dock and along the quay. The basin is 54 m long and 10 m wide, with a jetty built with small stones composing the eastern side and a ruinous wall formed of well dressed larger stone blocks forming its western side. Park Quay jetty is 70 m long and 16 m wide. The eastern jetty is ruinous towards its terminus and the eastern side facing the dock appears to have partially collapsed at some point. A basic repair appears to have been made with a row of wooden piles used to keep the loose stone in place. A slipway at its southern end once enabled access to the river basin at low tide…
