Kilcreggan pier is a real gem to the Clyde and very beautiful, especially in a lovely sunny day such as this one. Clyde Marine's Seabus (2007), now in Clyde Marine colours, is seen arriving and departing for Helensburgh, something which won't happen for much longer as when the service between Gourock and Kilcreggan was re-tendered by SPT, Clyde Link current operators of the Renfrew Ferry won the contract. They will use the Island Princess, currently on the Solent, on the route between Gourock and Kilcreggan and will not serve Helensburgh come April 1st 2012 (if the boat arrives on time though!). Jobs will also be cut as rope handlers will no longer be required at Kilcreggan, a giant shame and almost a repeat of what happened in Dunoon last year, though on a smaller scale.
