This is one of the units in the industrial estate, and it was conspicuously lacking in anything to say what it is used for. I did eventually find a shy little sign saying 'Noble Foods' but on checking that company's web site, they don't have a presence in Loanhead. Further investigation revealed that this was a Noble Foods egg processing factory, and that it was closed in 2010 with the loss of 90 jobs. I suppose the company must have overlooked removing that shy little sign. I would be intrigued to know why processing eggs required no less than four tall silos.
