In its 120th year the UK's oldest oceanographic organisation, The Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), a NERC Collaborative Centre, moved into a new GBP 12 million laboratory complex constructed at the same scenic site as its previous 1960s institute at Dunstaffnage near Oban.
HRH, The Princess Royal, conducted the official opening ceremony on Tuesday 6 April 2004 after touring the laboratory and talking to representatives of the biological, physical, geochemical and microbiological research groups at SAMS
about their research. Energy saving features such as glass and cedar wood feature

by the European Regional Development Fund, SAMS, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and NERC.
