Built between 1905-9, the Kinlochleven Aluminium works was the second smelter to be built by the British Aluminium Company Ltd. It included a hydro-electric power station, at the time the largest of its kind, which generated electricity at the voltage and amperage required for the manufacturing process. Following closure of the works in 2000, parts of the complex were demolished while some buildings were retained for alternative uses.
