Dunoon Pier, Victorian pier in Dunoon, Scotland

The pier extends into the Firth of Clyde with a T-shaped design, featuring a waiting room, pier master's office, and signal tower at its end point.

Built between 1896 and 1898 by architects Clarke and Bell, the structure incorporated elements from an earlier pier constructed by Campbell Douglas in 1867.

The pier represents maritime engineering excellence and stands as the finest remaining example of timber ferry infrastructure in Scotland's architectural heritage.

Regular passenger ferry services operate from the pier to Gourock, with ticket offices and waiting areas available for travelers throughout operating hours.

The pier retains its original Victorian signal tower from 1888, which used a colored disc system to prevent vessel collisions in the Firth of Clyde.
