Background
History
During the Victorian era, from 1850 onwards, the large contiguous villages of Cove and Kilcreggan were developed, with luxurious summer villas in attractive coastal settings for the wealthy of the greater Glasgow area, so that businessmen and their families could enjoy the fresh air. Piers built at Cove and Kilcreggan had Clyde steamer services taking business and leisure commuters to railway terminals such as Greenock Princes Pier railway station, or on more leisurely steamer trips down the Firth of Clyde and up river into Glasgow.
