Laggan Dam is a dam located on the River Spean south west of Loch Laggan in the Scottish Highlands.
The structure was built by Balfour Beatty for the British Aluminium Company and construction was finished in 1934. The supervising engineers were the firm of C S Meik and William Halcrow, now known as the Halcrow Group.
The dam was designated a Category B listed building in 1985. It was upgraded to Category A listing in 2011, following a review as part of Hydroelectric Power Thematic Survey 2010.
The dam is about 700 feet (210 m) long, and 48 metres (157 ft) high between the level of the foundations and the crest of the spillway. It is curved upstream like an arch dam with a radius of curvature of 2,000 feet (610 m), but works purely on the principle of a gravity dam.

Autumn on the shores of Loch Laggan.
Loch Laggan is a freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands.
The loch is approximately 7 mi (11 km) in length.
Situated adjacent to the A86 between Spean Bridge and Aviemore. Catching the late afternoon sun! B&W worked better than colour!
On my way back north after setting up our exhibition in Fort William (society of scottish landscape photographers). I love to stop at this location, on the Laggan Road, usually it has a few other people there, but as it was around 6pm i found i had the whole space to myself, everyone else must have gone for their tea! 😁 superb sunny evening, balmy, warm, grasshoppers and dragonflies everywhere, the water lilies in full bloom. I must have spent 2 hours just chilling out. Bliss.

On the edge of the Cairngorms and the location where Monarch of the Glen was filmed.
The mountain in the distance is Stob Choire Claurigh and at a height of 3861ft it is a Munro, it is part of a chain of 4 mountains 3 of which are Munro's and the other is a Corbett. Known as the Grey Corries Range it is one of the finest ridge walks in Scotland, wild and remote with spectacular scenery every step of the way.
A beautiful stretch of the Caledonian Canal between Fort Augustus and Loch Lochy.
Enjoy the weekend! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

CP 113 works downhill at Cathedral on the Laggan Subdivision. The lighting here was great for highlighting not only the train, but also the mountains.

On our way to the Cairngorms and we came across this gorgeous and famous building surrounded by a covering of mist across Loch Laggan. This is Ardverikie House and is famous for having starred as 'Glenbogle Castle' in the long running BBC Drama, 'Monarch of the Glen' Ardverikie House is situated on the shores of Loch Laggan.
November '98 Below the main Laggan Loch, the River Spean widens into a series of small lochans, which I have always known as Laggan lochs.

The towering peaks of Mount Rundle and striking hoodoo formations below come alive in a spectacular interplay of golden morning light and shadow as a pair of brand-new CPKC ET44ACs guide train no. 113 into the heart of Banff National Park. At 0724 hrs, the sun has just cleared the surrounding ridges, lifting the last stubborn shadows over the Laggan Subdivision to fully unveil this breathtaking alpine scene. Some might argue otherwise, but as far as I’m concerned, the 0400 alarm this morning was well worth it!

Down in the muck by Loch Lochy, near Fort Augustus.
Always amazed by how eager I am to run through mud looking for a nice shot.
Just past Laggan Locks on my way to Spean Bridge, some of you will recognise this view. I have been on holiday the last ten days had a very nice time. Last Monday I had a round trip from Inverness out to Acharacle(218 miles), it was a lovely January day, bright sunshine but very cold. I will be on and off Flickr this week but will seek to catch with you as the week progresses.
