Old Photograph Ferry Corrie Island Of Arran Scotland

Old photograph of cottages and the ferry at Corrie located six miles North of Brodick, Island Of Arran, Scotland. This Scottish village used to be a regular stop for steamers circumnavigating the island, passengers embarking by way of a rowing boat from the ferry rock. The ferry rock is located midway between the village's two quays. The southernmost quay is known as the sandstone quay. This harbour and quay used to be the location where sandstone blocks from the nearby quarry were shipped to the mainland. The sheep bollards on the quay walls were moved to Corrie after they were used in the 1988 Glasgow Garden Festival. The northernmost quay is Corrie port and was also used for shipping products to other locations on the island, the mainland and other islands. Small coastal cargo vessels of a type known as the Clyde puffer were a common sight in the port and the sandstone quay during their heyday.
