Ardnadam Pier
Ardnadam Pier
The ticket office by the A815 Shore Road. The pier was opened in 1858 to serve a growing development of marine villas to the north-west of Sandbank and is the longest steamer pier on the upper firth of Clyde. The pier was used by steamer services in the heyday of the Clyde steamers before the First World War, but was closed to commercial use in 1940 and never reopened. It was used for military purposes when the US Navy base at Holy Loch was in operation (1961-1992).
