Business Opportunities

Kinlochleven has wonderful natural assets and offers opportunities not only for several flagship tourism projects, but also offers a clean and beautiful setting for a wide range of other business developments.

The implementation of the regeneration strategy has proved successful over the last 10 years. Amongst the success stories of this work was the restoration of the Carbon Factory to house the Ice Factor www.ice-factor.co.uk , six purpose built business units and until recently the conversion of the smaller carbon factory to house a micro brewery www.riverlevenales.co.uk.  In additional a luxury bunkhouse for walkers and climbers has been created in place of the former Laboratory Building www.blackwaterhostel.co.uk .

Other Tenants and Buildings include Kinlochleven Post Office within the Aluminium Story Exhibition and Visitor Information Point, The Scottish Government, New Start Highland, Nether Lochaber Amateur Boxing Club and  Dramafish Theatre Arts Company . New industries and tourist activities provide Kinlochleven with many visitors during the year.

Kinlochleven Community Trust may have premises to suit your requirements within the Kinlochleven Business Park and full details are available by contacting Moira Hartley via email moira@kinlochleven.co.uk or telephone 01855 831 779.  Information packs can be sent upon request and viewings can be arranged normally within 24 hours notice.

The business units are situated within Kinlochleven Business Park which lies approximately 21 miles south of Fort William and 92 miles north of Glasgow at the head of Loch Leven. The Business Park has been created in recent years by Kinlochleven Community Trust and forms a key role in the regeneration of the village. The village is well known for its strategic position on the West Highland Way which attracts a considerable number of visitors throughout the year.
