Don’t be daunted

It is all about the right permissions, finance, people, materials and equipment in the right place at the right time.

Don’t be daunted by a remote location. Scotland has plenty of those and our hauliers pride themselves on getting anything anywhere. They have, or can hire, the kit needed be it all-terrain; continuous-track or a landing craft and they know ferry timetables to islands or across peninsulas off by heart.

Likewise they can get a lorry and a load down the narrowest lane or vennel in a city; remember it can take just as long to cross the central belt in the rush hour as sailing to an island.
