Past Projects

Leiths (Scotland) Ltd supplied the concrete to Balfour Beatty for the manufacture of the “lego” building blocks for the new £12m Raasay Ferry Terminal. Early in 2008, Leith’s (Scotland) Ltd began the quarrying of Torridonian Sandstone at Kishorn in the vicinity of what was known as Area 6. An order was received from Balfour Beatty for the Raasay Ferry Terminal which involved the production of over 50,000 tonnes of various quarry products and the production of 7,000m³ of concrete for the fabrication of precast units which formed the main part of the terminal structure.

Galliford Try were appointed as the main contractor for the redevelopment of the MOD facilities on the remote British Island, St Kilda. Galliford Try leased an area at Kishorn Port throughout 2017-2019 and used the Port as its main onshore operating base throughout the contract. The site was used to store and distribute the building supplies that were required for the project.

Highland road salt is brought in via Kishorn Port and Dry Dock. In 2011, Ferguson Transport & Shipping, one of KPL’s partners, secured an agreement with Highland Council to berth, discharge and transport all the road salt required locally in the area through Kishorn Port to the local depots in and around Wester Ross for use during the winter months.
