A project milestone has been reached on a £25 million Isle of Skye fish feed facility.

Robertson has reached the topping out stage of the scheme at Allt Anavig quarry at Kyleakin.

The new plant, which is being delivered for Marine Harvent and has an overall cost of £93m, is due to complete towards the end of 2018.

David Cairns, Managing Director, Robertson Central East, said: "Work has been ongoing at Marine Harvest since last summer and we’re pleased with the progress that has been made. The topping-out ceremony marks an important milestone and we are moving closer to handing the facility over to Marine Harvest.

"This is an important project to Robertson Central East, worth around £25m, and emphasises our ability to deliver complex projects – not just on the mainland but also on Scotland’s islands."

Mick Watts, engineering director at Marine Harvest Scotland, said: "It was pleasing to work with Robertson and incorporate them into a complex development with many international suppliers, where they succeeded in delivering their component of the construction phase."
