Ayr Harbour and Former Branch Bridge

            This was a goods line built 1899 which ran across South Harbour Street, from Ayr Goods Station (immediately behind) across the River Ayr, to the South Harbour. It closed in the early 60s, the steel lattice girder bridge was damaged by a flood in the 1970s and removed in 1978.  Only the piers remain.

It was a 5-span steel bridge on a curve, with rivetted parallel truss spans supported on pairs of circular stone piers, one of which has been replaced in brick.

Ayr Harbour: quays on both sides of the River Ayr, with a mid 19th century breakwater projecting from the S bank. Also on the S bank was a slip dock (now disused). On the N side is an enclosed basin, formerly gated, built 1874-8. The S quay is used largely by fishing vessels and the N quay and basin are designed for coal export, with modern coaling cranes and a coal drop. There is an attractive 2-storey harbourmaster's office with a corner pepperpot turret.
