Campbeltown New Quay

One day's worth of timber loads, deposited on the New Quay at Campbeltown, rises above one of the logging trucks transporting them from the Kintyre forests. They will be shipped across the Firth of Clyde to Irvine. The C&MLR had a siding on the New Quay as well as the passenger tracks to the quayside terminus (See 1921 map 33469) but there is no trace of that today. The structure behind the timber is the linkspan for the Calmac ferry services.
