Port Bannatyne Steamer Pier, Port Bannatyne

A t-plan former pier of timber construction, now with only the timber supports and landward structures in stone remaining.

Port Bannatyne, previously Kamesburgh until its acquisition by the Marquess of Bute in the 1860s, experienced boom years during the turn of last century as a tourist destination when Caledonian steamers called regularly at the pier, with trams bringing the holiday makers round from Rothesay (FA Walker with F Sinclair).

December 2009: Inspection finds the pier a ruin, slowly decaying. The pier is understood to have been derelict from around 1937.

30 August 2012: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit.
