Washing aggregate at Sconser Quarry Gravel, quarried at crushed at Sconser, is being washed by the red plant and dropped into piles by the two conveyers. The mechanical shovel on the left is both filling the hopper with fresh aggregate and, in this picture, removing the washed gravel ready for it to be mixed with bitumen to make asphalt. With luck, some of it will be used to fill the winter potholes on Skye's roads.
