Fascinating to think that this bit of metal has been out at Bell Rock for decades, an important part of the speedy landings that are required at that lighthouse. As can be seen in c.1963 they held more than just supplies! We thank the Northern Lighthouse Board for this very kind donation!

RSPB’s biosecurity team and Reid the detection dog visited our Oban Base in August to deliver a biosecurity training session to our team. Great to put all the learning into practice when Reid checked loads destined for the Bass Rock for our upcoming access landing works
