AN INTERNATIONALLY recognised research centre celebrated its 50th anniversary in style by unveiling new state-ofthe-art facilities in Acharacle.
Ardtoe Marine Research Facility has received more than £4 million in investment since 2013 when Benchmark Holdings Plc bought the site and added aquaculture to its suite of FAI farms and research facilities. The centre marked the milestone anniversary by opening its doors to members of the public, welcoming locals and past employees to tour the new facilities and learn about Ardtoe’s work supporting Scottish and global aquaculture.
Community members and former employees celebrated Ardtoe’s 50th anniversary.
