The Northern Barrage

The US Navy had a very large scale mining operation in the North Sea which was done from Inverness and Invergordon.  Mines were brought into Corpach and Kyle of Lochalsh from the USA then shipped across to the East coast by either railway or canal.  I am interested in identifying some of these locations, the headquarters in Corpach has been identified and some others are obvious but I would be grateful if anyone knows the location of any of these photographs.  I might add more photographs later.
