Nostie bridge power station receives water from Lochalsh Dam (see separate item) via a pipeway. Nostie Bridge is a relatively early example (1948) of the development of smaller scale one off hydro power schemes. The building was designed by James Shearer and pays particular attention to vernacular Scottish themes with its use of local stone and the hipped roof. Shearer wanted the building to blend seamlessly into the landscape, and as a consequence of this he commonly used local stone and traditional building methods.
