Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Kilcreggan, Scottish Gaelic: Cille Chreagain, a village on the Rosneath peninsula in Argyll and Bute. This village developed on the north shore of the of the Firth of Clyde at a time when Clyde steamers brought it within easy reach of Glasgow. Many Glasgow shipowners and merchants made their summer retreats or even permanent residences there. The majority of the houses look south across the Clyde towards the towns of Gourock and Greenock, and further down the firth towards the Isle of Arran. Kilcreggan is in the historic county of Dunbartonshire. Kilcreggan Pier was opened in 1850 and was described as a substantial pier with commodious waiting rooms and other conveniences. It’s the oldest surviving wooden pier on the Clyde and still has the original signal discs dating from 1888 which regulated the order of steamers racing for the pier. In its heyday up to 39 ferries a day would call here.
