The wooden building, supported on piles, contains the waiting rooms, and the brick block to the right houses the booking office. Rains come in from the right. And stop almost opposite the steamer berth The steamer service from this pier was withdrawn in the early 1970s, and the railway was subsequently cut back to a new station in the town centre. The last paddle steamer on the loch, the 'Maid of the Loch', has survived, and is being restored, with the intention of resuming services on the loch There has been a pier here since 1850, when the Caledonian & Dumbartonshire Railway reached Balloch, and wished to interchange traffic with steamers plying on Loch Lomond. The pier existing in 1971 was constructed in 1896 by the Dumbarton & Balloch Joint Line Committee Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
