Scope and Content Former electric generating station, Rodel, Harris, Inverness-shire This small station was built to serve a wartime army camp in the vicinity. It was a small building, rubble-built, with a corrugated iron roof, and contained a small water-turbine driving a generator, with a standby diesel-powered generating set. This view shows the water turbine, of the Ringwood type, which drove a generator made by Flather and Co, Leeds, by a belt from the pulley on the left side of the turbine. The use of masonry was unusual in World War II, and it is possible that this station was built within the shell of a former water-powered corn mill. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
