Bodinbo Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bodinbo Island is an islet in the estuarine waters of the River Clyde close to the old ferry slipway at Erskine.[1] Before the dyke or training wall was built the rocky Bodinbo Island was a prominent feature in the river hereabouts and a hazard to shipping, especially sailing craft in the dark, during foggy weather, flood conditions and in high winds. On Ordnance Survey maps the name has been transliterated to Bottombow Island[2] and Boden Boo is the spelling variant used for the nearby woodland plantation.[3][4]
