Grangemouth Refinery was an oil refinery complex located on the Firth of Forth in Grangemouth, Scotland, built by BP but latterly operated by Petroineos. It was the only operating crude oil refinery in Scotland, and with its closure left five remaining refineries in the UK. Grangemouth until that point was the oldest refinery in the UK and supplied 65% of Scotland’s oil products, including petrol and diesel. The refinery processed its last crude in April 2025, and is slated to fully convert to a fuels terminal from July 2025 onwards.

@paulburgh I’ve subbed you.
I’ve picked many a container up from that dock. Great aerial view.
I’ll take my drone up on my next visit and if I get chance will fly it.
Nice video… Good to see you kept a sensible distance from a tier 1 COMAH site. 
I knew about the refinery of course, but had no idea that Grangemouth was such a major container port!
It’s not that major in comparison to other UK & NI Ports. In fact it doesn’t hit the top 10 of Ports in a tonnage scale.
Grangemouth is scotlands largest container port. I would love to go to the one near bristol and see all the cars at that port.
Visit Southampton, you’ll be even more impressed as to what vehicles of all shapes and sizes enter and exit the port.
