Alongside at Loch Riddon. Dinghy first at low tide to clear shingle bottom of any large stones.

Old Information On Drying Out
The Stone Dolphin at the end of East Loch Tarbert, or the harbour wall alongside the road west of the pier, there is a slipway which you can lie along side when the tide is out but you may have to pay for that. I have lain against the Dolphin and dried out many years ago and witnessed some small yachts along side the road.
There used to be a drying area on slats against piles at the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club. It would certainly be private and you would need to contact them. It may also be long gone as I last saw it in the early 1980s.
Both the pier and the harbour at Millport dry out at the upper sections. Most boats that dry out go along side the harbour wall, inside. It's a council facility and although I have not used it, small fishing boats do use it to access their hulls.
You could dry out at Campbeltown Harbour but I haven't been there for years so I done know if they have dredged the harbour or developed it.

As above, we keep the boat here and use the peir each year to put up and take down the mast, do any repairs that require drying out. Nice shingle bottom.
But you will want plenty of fenders as there is a couple of the peir stones that stick out and could quite easily catch the hull when coming in/going out.
