I am looking for a traditional old world style harbour with stone quay/jetty in the Clyde estuary for use in a TV commercial.
It needs to have enough depth at low water springs to take a 2 metre draught, and the jetty needs to be in reasonable working condition.
Anyone any ideas>
Thanks
Jerry

There's slim pickings to suit your criteria.
Not many stone jetties.
Not many with that depth
Not many "harbours".

But nearest I can think to even consider are...
Bowling: not really a "harbour", depth might be problematic, and maybe too small?
Helensburgh: It has some stone, but not a harbour.
Strone Point: Stone, not a harbour.
Dunoon: Stone I think, partly, active ferry terminal, not a "harbour".
Rue End Street Greenock, near (west of) James Watt Dock, East India Harbour. This might be best of the lot. Typically has a tug or two sitting waiting a commission, water enough, stone piers, scenic, looks old world enough.

Carradale?

Isn't Carradale sheetpiling? Otherwise very scenic and old world looking.

Portincaple any good ?

Thanks very much for the replies everyone. Your time is appreciated
Carradale looks like a viable option .
Other options still welcome.

I don't know what state Inverary Pier is like but we did anchor off last year and climb ashore using a ladder up a stone wall.

Many thanks for that. I will take a look at it.

There was an effort to dredge a channel into Maidens harbour but I don't know what depth they achieved.
The jetty/breakwater is stone and concrete.
More at http://maidensharbour.co.uk/ if of interest.
Just North of Turnberry.

The pier at Loch Melfort is probably a contender. Depth at all states of the tide and a nice situation to boot.

Thanks Donald. I have not been there by land or sea but looking at photos it does look very good.
Thanks again

As far as Melfort Pier is concerned ( besides bring outside the Clyde ):-

The OP requires 2 m depth at Low water springs.

There is nothing like that at the end of Melfort Pier. In fact the pontoon grounds.

Plus its not exactly " traditional" whan looking towards the Holiday homes.

There is a stone jetty at Armaddy ( roughly opposite Balvicar) but I suspect that it shallow at Low water as well,if outside the Clyde is a feasible

Portpatrick?

Many thanks all for your contributions, I really appreciate the time you all took to think about it and reply.
Annoyingly the Production company has gone silent on me and is not replying to my communications and I take that as their way of saying we are not coming to Scotland to do this commercial.
Once again thanks to all and Blue Moment for allowing it
