Scope and Content Main office from the north-west, Aluminium Works, Kinlochleven, Highland The aluminium works at Kinlochleven was built between 1904 and 1909 by the British Aluminium Company Limited. By 1911 the works were producing about 7,112 tonnes of aluminium per annum which was around 87% of the total output of the company at that time. The works closed in June 2000. This shows the main office of the works where administrative duties would have been implemented. The building's quoins (corners) have a rubble finish which contrast with its white painted harled walls. The works was always a significant employer in the area and at one stage over 700 people worked there. When the works closed, a major land regeneration plan was implemented with the main aim of keeping Kinlochleven village viable as a community and economic centre.
