Proposed Oil Rig Construction Yard

In the 1970s Drumbuie was proposed as the site for an oil rig construction yard. This was opposed by Ross and Cromarty County Council, the National Trust for Scotland, Friends of the Earth, The Conservation Society, and other groups. Following a public inquiry, the proposed development was rejected.[2]
