Statement of Interest

The harbour at Kerrycroy was among many small ports and harbours that existed around the shores of Bute - others including those at Straad, Port Bannatyne, Kilchattan and Kilmichael. Prior to the building of Rothesay pier, the regular ferry between Kerrycroy and Largs constituted the most significant link between Bute and the mainland. The quay was reconstructed at the beginning of the 19th century. The nearby houses set about a crescent forming Kerrycroy Village are listed separately.
