Books, Manuscripts
In 1895 the fledgling British Aluminium Company started work on its first aluminium reduction works at Foyerson the banks of Loch Ness. By the outbreak of the First World War, the company's two Highland factories produced 12 per cent of the total global population of the metal. This book charts this neglected history of an industry that became inextricably tied to imperial interests and national defence.
