Description
Inverfarigaig Pier, built by Thomas Telford between 1803 and 1822, is a short coursed rubble structure that likely includes an earlier slipway. The pier features a tooled red granite coping. It has been extended with concrete and rubble that is contained within metal piles. There are also four early 19th century attenuated cast-iron bollards present.
