The A87

This shot was taken from the roadside on the new A87 road. The old A87 built by Thomas Telford 200 years ago crosses Loch Loyne in the distance. The new A87 was needed when Glen Loyne was chosen for the Glengarry Hydro Electric Scheme. A dam was built and the glen flooded, submerging the old A87. It occasionally reappears when water levels are low!
