Now Holcim UK Glensanda is according to the company website:
Occupying a remote peninsula north of Oban, Glensanda is an immense coastal super-quarry. The facility includes a processing plant, a small aircraft landing strip, a coastal deep-water berth on Loch Linnhe, which can serve ships up to 120,000 tonnes, and a small harbour that receives a private ferry which crosses the loch from Port Appin bringing workers to the quarry. Due to the volume of material exported from the site, it is heralded as one of the largest ports in the UK.
