THREE months after a section of Ardrishaig’s stone pier collapsed into the sea, repairs are about to begin.
The project will see the damaged section of the 200-year-old pier, at the mouth of the Crinan Canal, rebuilt and reinforced by pier operator Scottish Canals so that it can be opened up once again for freight use.
Prior to the collapse in May, around 30,000 tonnes of timber freight passed through the harbour each year.
