Pictured below are some of the hygiene and safety measures you can find in place on our sites.

The latest to join our fleet of machinery is the JCB VM137 Roller. The 13 tonne roller arrived last week and has since taken its place at Corrour, where it will assist in the maintenance of the hardcore forest road which serves both Corrour Estate and Corrour Railway Station from the A86 at Moy.  Earlier this year we commenced works on Alt Na Moine Hydroscheme, near Applecross in the Highlands. Works so far have included the construction of two kilometres of access track, the laying of around 300m of pipe and the construction of the foundations for the powerhouse. Pictures of the progress to date can be seen below. A selection of drone pictures showcasing the completed Smolt Unit at Kishorn Port for the Scottish Salmon Company.
