Oil construction yard work in Cromarty

In common with other areas in Ross-shire, personnel from Cromarty have worked in the oil construction yards in Nigg and Invergordon.

At Invergordon and Nigg, Ameralda Hess and ELF structures were built at Barmac’s fabrication yard but the international downturn in orders threatened many skilled and well-paid jobs (1998).
