Old travel Blog photograph of Pier Road in Tighnabruaich, Kyles of Bute, Argyll, Scotland. A pier was built in the 1830s by the Castle Steamship Company, a forerunner of Caledonian MacBrayne. Its was a stopping place for paddle steamers and Clyde puffers. The wooden pier was rebuilt in 1885 by the Tighnabruaich Estate who owned it from 1840 until 1950. George Olding owned it until 1965 when it became the responsibility of the local council. This Scottish village is just an hour and a half west of Glasgow, and is located along the east coast of Loch Fyne and stretching into the Kyles of Bute.
