This excellent photo of the pier from the 1890′s features the steamers Dandy Dinmont, Red Gauntlet and Lady Clare. The photo comes from Helensburgh Heritage Trust.
Compare with my own photo of the now derelict pier taken a couple of years ago (notice the Waverley in the distance)

The Pier only began to look like that after the Waverley started calling in regularly.
I caught my first and only fish on this pier when I was about 12. God, that’s 42 years ago! I’m sure the plaice has never been the same since, even though it was a cod I caught!
would love some pictures of craigendoran pier in the 80s if anyone has any, or could advise me what site to look on to find them, thanks very much.
