It is the only operating crude oil refinery in Scotland (following the cessation in 2014 of bitumen refining activities at the Nynas Dundee Refinery),[1] and currently one of the six remaining UK refineries.
It is reputedly the UK's second-oldest, supplying refined products to customers in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland, as well as occasionally further afield.
