🏗️ A Landmark Project for Scotland's Heritage 🏗️
MAM Contracting is proud to announce our appointment by the Isle of Luing Community Trust to deliver the works required to reopen the historic Cullipool Slate Quarry on the Isle of Luing.
After more than 60 years of inactivity, this iconic quarry is set to return authentic West Highland slate to the market, supporting the conservation of Scotland's historic buildings while creating new opportunities for the local community. The project will play a key role in restoring a traditional industry that once helped shape the island's economy and Scotland's built heritage.
Our works will include the redevelopment of the quarry infrastructure, helping prepare the site for production from Spring 2027. This is a project that combines civil engineering expertise with heritage preservation, sustainability, and long-term community benefit.
As Mike Melville, Director of MAM Contracting, commented:
"This isn't just a civil engineering project—it's about restoring a 60-year chapter in Scotland's built heritage. We're proud to play our part in bringing authentic West Highland slate back to Scotland's historic buildings."
We look forward to working closely with the Isle of Luing Community Trust and project partners to bring this exciting vision to life.
