Dist:0.5km<br/>The old pier, with its faded 'Lismore' sign, is no longer used; the car ferry from Oban uses the adjacent slipway. According to a plaque on the wall, it was built in 1880 by contractors A & K Macdonald and J Goodwin & Co, with John Strainge as engineer.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This pier is in a poor condition, with traffic now serviced by the small ro-ro ferry from Oban. Below the main pier a descending ramp can just be seen in the photo: this was probably used to load livestock into boats before the ro-ro.
