Construction to start on £42.2m Kishorn Port expansion

Construction is scheduled to start on June 16 and is expected to create 84 jobs during the 18-month build, according to the port. RJ McLeod, a Scottish contractor, is the principal contractor. Supporting services will be provided by Scottish firms Wallace Stone, Affric and Leapmoor.

Scotland’s Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes last week announced investment of up to £24 million in the expansion by regional development agency Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
