Testimony to another time in the grand history of Scotland, the Wemyss Bay Terminal stands a proud tribute to the Victorian times which inspired its construction. Built to support the thriving link between The Isle of Arran and the mainland, the terminal provides a vital conduit between rail and sea transport. Today road transport has largely taken over from rail, however devoting some time to reflection still conjures up mental images of the 1920's.
