Kishorn among Highland projects securing government cash for decommissioning

The Scottish Government will split £1.5million between six projects in an effort to secure more North Sea oil and gas decommissioning work for the country.

The funding comes from the Decommissioning Challenge Fund (DCF), launched early last year by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon to help pay for infrastructure upgrades.

A total of £1.1million was handed out in the first round of DCF awards, announced in November.

The second round of grants will focus on schemes in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Kishorn, Shetland and Orkney.
