Staffa Island, Scotland

We are currently working with the National Trust for Scotland on the Island of Staffa. Staffa is a remote and uninhabited island located off the Island of Mull in the Western Highlands of Scotland. The island is a NNR and SSSI site and famous for Fingal’s Cave, it’s geological basal rock formation and a rich bird and marine life. On Staffa we are commissioned to design a new staircase and widen the jetty. We furthermore assist the client with maintenance works such as repairs to footpaths and walkways. The works include complicated transport logistics, lifts and installation methodologies for a challenging remote and uninhabited site. Working closely with local stakeholders to learn traditional suitable methods and materials as well as the NTSs specialist team ensuring bio-security, archaeology, H&S etc. are adhered to.
