Loch Monar reflections
Intake tower feeding the Deanie power station in Glen Strathfarrar - a rather stark end to what is a beautiful glen!
"Deanie, commissioned towards the end of 1963, was one of the last conventional hydro stations to be built by the Hydro Board.
Deanie is an underground station, capacity 38MW. The Monar dam, the only large arch dam to be built in the UK, is 520ft long and 123ft high. It considerably enlarged Loch Monar. From an intake tower adjacent to the dam, water is led by a tunnel, 29,000ft long and 15ft in diameter, to the underground Deanie power station"
