Early 18th century in origin, 19th century re-working. Random rubble pier projecting to W from shore and curving to S. Cement-rendered boat-house at shore; iron rails leading from boat-house to timber derrick and ashlar steps at W end of pier.
The pier is a prominent feature in Skene's view of Gardie of circa 1812, and remains an essential part of this view today. Fragments survive of a timber trolley with cast-iron wheels, and a winch E of the boathouse, presumably used for transporting boats to the water.
