Trains from the North British ran from Queen Street station
Glasgow straight to the pier head to connect with the steamers.
The pier and station lies approximately 1 mile south of
Helensburgh,the pier at Helensburgh was deemed unfit for steamers due its shallow
depth water ,it was also considered to be to far from the train station.
Craigendoran pier closed in 1972, with the cessation of
steamer services, after 90 years in operation.
Not much survives today of the pier, its difficult to
imagine steamers pulling in with hundreds of Glaswegians on their holidays
,walking round the area you can still spot cobble stones under the undergrowth,
the odd bollard ,shards of broken posts.
