Imachar plan
Just when it looks like the long debate over a timber slipway on the west side of the island is over, along comes another plan. This time the location is not Machrie but further up the coast at Imachar. The Forest Commission put a huge amount of effort into the proposal for the Machrie slipway, which it considered the ideal solution to take timber off the island from the west coast forests by sea instead of trailing timber lorries across The String road to Brodick.
