Kilcreggan Pier, along with Tighnabruaich, is one of the last traditional Clyde Coast piers in regular use. The first pier was built in 1850, but the present structure dates from a rebuilding in 1897. The pier was strengthened in 1964, and the present pierhead building dates from this period. The railings were replaced recently and the pierhead building has been painted and renovated. The blocked tripartite opening on the W gable was for the collection of pier dues.
