MOA worked along with another contractor to construct the eagerly awaited link from the Portsoy road to Huntly. The path included traffic management as the path was adjacent to the road, using imported materials the path was held by rock revetment on the downhill side. On completion the community are extremely pleased as behind the scene work to get this project done have been on going for nearly 10 years.

We were delighted to attend the National Path Demonstration Site on Friday 18th March 2011 when Fiona Hyslop MSP and Angela Constance MSP officially opened the facility at Oatridge College, Ecclesmachan.
The Paths for All demonstration site will give local authorities, organisations and land owners the chance to look at and take knowledge from the good practice designs and construction methods completed at Oatridge College. MOA & Ross McGowan played a pivotal role throughout the contractural period to deliver the quality countryside practices, form aggregate paths to bridges, signage to gates and fencing.

Dulnain Bridge Riverside Path Construction

After a long negotiation process works to construct the neglected, overgrown, problematic riverside walk, Cairngorm Outdoor Access Trust (COAT) got the go ahead to construct the path. The route crosses a steep slope above the River Dulnain and the old path had fallen into disrepair; it became impassable some years ago and has remained closed over safety concerns.
MOA won the contact and rebuilt the path using dry-stone revetments to hold the path line along the slope and gives the user great views along the river. The path continues along the riverbank and up into woodland next to Dulnain Bridge giving the community a circular walk.
