Scope and Content The Great Glen Hydro-Electric scheme comprises five major power stations: Ceannacroc, Livishie Glenmoriston, Quoich and Invergarry, which are fed by a complex of interconnected lochs and reservoirs including Loch Quoich, Loch Garry and Loch Loyne. The Great Glen hydro-electric scheme lies along the shores of Loch Ness, and the area to the west of Fort Augustus, incorporating Glenmoriston up to Loch Cluanie, and from Loch Garry, west to Loch Quoich. This is an area of exceptionally heavy rainfall, on average four times greater than that on the east coast of Scotland. The flow of water is regulated by a number of man-made dams and tunnels, and this collection of images documents the scheme. It is one of a series recording the eight major hydro-electric schemes in Scotland.
