Its piers have been rebuilt, repaired and extended at various times because of storm damage, and to meet the changing needs of the burgh. The inner harbour is formed by the west pier which was rebuilt in 1822 (left) and the much-repaired 17th-century east pier (right). Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
