Lochgilphead pier is within the town of Lochgilphead itself, which is
situated in Argyll and Bute and it lies at the end of Loch Gilp, which is a
branch of Loch Fyne and the town is located over 80 miles outside Glasgow. The town became an important link across the
Kintyre peninsula once the Crinan canal had been completed in 1801. The pier itself was built in 1831 and helped to link the town with Glasgow and other towns as it provided a
connection for steamers to pass through.
The pier today however is no longer in use.
IMAGES OF THE PIER
TODAY
Below are some images of the pier today, which remains disused and these images were taken on 26 March 2017 using an Olympus E-M1 camera and Olympus 12mm wide angle lens and Lumix 14-42mm lens. With these images I aimed to show the unusual L shape of the pier and try to incorporate the town buildings in the background to add an extra dimension.
Overall I think these images work well at showing the unusual L shaped structure of the pier while also incorporating elements of the town in the background with the buildings seen in the 1st image.
