John Clunie
A Kinnear
1819
A bit of research has identified both men as local stone masons, who presumably wanted to leave their personal mark on the pier, having carried out some work on the structure two centuries ago. Note that this was a time before the railway, the granary and around the time of the first regular steamer services. Alexander Kinnear must have decided his full name was too long and left only his first initial. He lived until 1880 and to the grand age of 92 (evidence shown below).
