Sullom Voe first comes to mind. But your clue implies activity, so maybe not.

No, good guess, but not Sullom Voe (which is now in "end of life" management).

Serious looking gate, that. Thanks, you did lead me by the nose somewhat.

The DL were of questionable attribution.

If you have started out from b or c there is some debate if you are probably headed up g or gf.

Well, let's try this for size. I don't have much faith in it.


If you have started up from Brodick or Cladach, there is some debate about whether you are going up g or Goat Fell. It's the G I have my doubts about. Glenshung?

It might just be Goatfell or Goat Fell - I'm not sure if the OS even agree with themselves.

(No palming it off on me if you're right, though - I'm away in the wilds of England!)
