Scope and Content Pier Station, Balloch, West Dunbartonshire This shows the paddle steamer 'Maid of the Loch' berthed at the pier, looking north from the end of the platform of the station. In the foreground is a spare gangway, used for boarding the vessel. Until about 1950 there were two steamers operating on the loch. In 1953 the survivor, the 'Prince Edward' was replaced by the 'Maid of the Loch', which, as can be seen, was still operating in 1971. She was withdrawn in the mid-1970s, but still survives, berthed at this pier, and is being restored. This facility was built in 1896 by the Dumbarton & Balloch Joint Line Committee, a partnership between the North British and Caledonian Railways, which shared the line between Dumbarton and Balloch. It was an interchange point between trains and the committee's steamers on Loch Lomond. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
