The old pier in Craignure, a quiet sentinel on the south side of Craignure Bay, holds a significant place in the history of the Isle of Mull’s connectivity. Built in 1894, this original pier served as the island’s primary gateway for many decades, preceding the larger, modern ferry terminal constructed in 1964. It was through this modest structure that goods and passengers first regularly arrived and departed, marking a crucial era in the island’s development and its links with the Scottish mainland.
More than just a landing point, this historic pier was once associated with the “Pennygate Stones,” which formed part of a toll gate situated at its access point. This detail illustrates its importance as the very threshold onto the island, where a small fee would once have been collected from those passing through. While no longer serving as an active ferry terminal, the remnants of this old pier stand as a tangible link to a bygone era of island transport and trade, offering a glimpse into the logistical challenges and triumphs of a developing Mull.
Today, the old pier remains part of the Craignure landscape, albeit having receded from its former prominence as the bustling heart of island travel. Despite recent challenges with environmental upkeep, local community efforts have been noted in working to reclaim and manage the area around this historic structure. It endures as a silent witness to Craignure’s evolution from a simple landing stage to the vibrant ferry port it is today, serving as a historical landmark for those interested in the island’s past.
