Ailsa Craig

The short pier on Ailsa Craig used for the transhipment of granite brought by rail from the quarry face. Loaded wagons came in from the right to a headshunt and were then lowered down to the pier. Now superseded by a landing - craft type vessel loading directly from the beach at the quarry.
