Kilcreggan

In its heyday, up to 39 ferries daily called at Kilcreggan, bringing thousands of Glaswegians "doon the watter" to enjoy the peninsula's fresher air and scenic beauty. Here are some of the sights you can enjoy today:

• Kilcreggan Pier – Opened in 1850, the substantial wooden structure is the oldest remaining original Victorian pier on the Clyde, complete with signal discs dating from 1888 that once regulated steamers racing to dock. During the summer months, remains a stopping point for the famous Waverley paddle steamer.
• Go Historic Architecture Spotting – The village's architectural significance is exceptional. Historic Scotland lists a remarkable 88 buildings in this small area! The Rosneath Peninsula West Coast Heritage Trail, with leaflets available from the Post Office, provides detailed information about these architectural treasures.
• Visit Tut Tut Rock – Initially called 'The Pianted Rock' when first created in 1851, this piece of Victorian rock art is painted upon a boulder cast high on the shoreline by the retreat of a glacier during the last Ice Age. The rock’s look has varied throughout the years, often to reflect historical events. 
• Head on a coastal walk – Gentle strolls along the waterfront provide you with beautiful sea views with opportunities to spot marine wildlife, including seals, otters, and seabirds. More ambitious walkers can head on the coastal walk connecting Kilcreggan with Rosneath (12.9km/8mi), via shoreline paths and woodland trails. Either head back to Kilcreggan via bus transport or extend the walk further to a circular route (see here).

Make sure to pop by the Kilcreggan Post Office, just across the street from the pier and bus shelter, for a browse in the community-run gift shop and mini museum.
