It also has the added feature of an on-site quarry for the supply of concreting aggregates if concrete gravity base structures or concrete casings are required.

Kishorn Port & Dry Dock
We are connected principally by road and sea, there is also a rail siding nearby at Strathcarron, a short 13 miles away which has direct trains heading towards Inverness.
In 2008, a 50/50 joint venture between Ferguson Transport & Shipping and Leiths commenced the re-generation at Kishorn Yard and Dry Dock.
There are several small settlements located in the vicinity of the loch. The name ‘Kishorn’ is a collective name which refers to these populated settlements.

Useful Information
The general topography of Loch Kishorn, the Inner Sound, Sound of Raasay and adjoining lochs provide a significant degree of shelter from the prevailing south westerly and westerly winds.
Both the Inner Sound and the Sound of Raasay are exposed to the North with a long fetch through the North Minch.
