Western Isles Transport Preservation Group is celebrating a major milestone in its plans to transform the old fish factory at Marybank. It has been awarded a certificate from building control for the first phase of the work, with the help of Point and Sandwick Trust.
The building, formerly owned by McConnells, was bought by the group in 2010 with the hope of turning it into a transport heritage centre for the Western Isles. Plans have been drawn up for the transformation of the whole building but they are so extensive and costly the group decided to tackle the project in phases.
