Stronuich Dam provides storage and flow regulation for Lochay Power Station (see separate item). The dam contains water from the tailraces of both Lubreoch and Cashlie power stations (see separate items). Immediately below the dam is a smaller powerhouse containing the compensation set for the dam. The dam includes a fixed spillway to the centre with the intake gatehouse tower to the left end of the dam controlling access to the tunnel which takes water through to Lochay power station. This is a relatively standard dam of predominantly functional design. The long low profile of the dam limits its landscape contribution. PL Payne, 1988, 24; E Wood, 2002, 50
