Wind turbine hubs at Nigg oil yard in Easter Ross
|
A master plan to guide redevelopment of a former oil yard has estimated its revival could be worth between £60m and £65m a year to the Highlands economy.
Highland Council and Highlands and Islands Enterprise commissioned the plan for Nigg in Easter Ross.
It said turning the site into a "multi-user industrial facility" could provide an average of 800-850 jobs over the next 15-20 years.
Bids to revive have been frustrated by a disagreement between Nigg's owners.
