The wooden pier stanchions are still there at Blackmill Bay, Luing, but in the days of photographer Iain Brown's grandmother, there was a ship off to Glasgow and a regular service to and from The Pier.
Scottish Islands Explorer - records from something to nothing
Real pier enthusiasts might like to know about a couple of books I've enjoyed recently: "Clyde Coast Piers" and "Piers of the Hebrides and Western Isles". Both by Alistair Deayton and published by Amberley. Piers, like the boats they serve, are such vital parts of island life, no wonder they stir such emotions - or am I just a very sad individual?
