Location type
Name and dates
Lochetivehead PierOpened on the Piers, Slips and Staiths.
Description
This pier was served by a ferry route from Oban/Connel Ferry/Ach-na-Cloich. The route and operator varied over the years with the first ferry starting in 1877 with a route from Oban. The strong tide in the loch at the Falls of Lora are a navigational restriction which led to Ach-na-Cloich becoming a starting point for the steamers.
In particular this route was popular with tourists and part of the Oban - Ach-na-Cloich - Lochetivehead - Kings House Hotel - Ballachulish - Oban circular tour promoted by the Callander and Oban Railway.
The pier is at the end of a long single track road from the north.
