A Highland Estate required a highly specialist company to install a new landrover track through designated SSSI, SAC & SPA area within the Estate – locally based McGowan Ltd was the preferred choice based on their expertise in such type works in highly sensitive sites.

The formation of a new 6000metre landrover track for estate vehicles was required by the estate.
