aquapharm... where is it and why is it there?


Aquapharm is located in Dunstaffnage


The nearest town is Oban which is beeeutiful in the good weather, and romantically misty (OK, grey and WET) in the rain. It's pretty special, but they didn't choose Dunstaffnage for the scenery.


The building is owned by The Scottish Association for Marine Science Science (SAMS for short), and Aquapharm moved there to take advantage of a very helpful investment deal from the Arygll and Islands Enterprise (AIE).

If you have a good idea for a business, and you are good at persuading people that it is a good idea, like Andrew and Kathryn are, then many regions in the UK will try to encourage you to come and make your business home in their region.

If you do well, you'll employ local people and bring more people to the area, spend your money there and help the area to be attractive to other businesses. That's why Aquapharm's labs and offices are in this lovely building.
