Background
History
Achintraid, along with nearby areas like Ardarroch and Sanachan, forms part of the broader Kishorn region. Historically, this area was significant for its involvement in oil platform construction during the 1970s, notably housing a large construction yard that produced the Ninian Central Platform, one of the largest movable objects ever created at that time. However, by the late 1980s, economic downturns led to the closure of these facilities.
