Fair Isle Bird Observatory

The internationally-renowned research centre in Shetland was destroyed by fire in March 2019. Situated on Fair Isle, an island between Orkney and Shetland spanning less than five square miles and with a population of just 50, the location is regarded as one of the best places in Europe to see rare birds.

With a new and improved building on the remote island estimated at £7.4m, innovative logistics solutions were required in order to transport the people and materials needed to complete the project.
