ND2391 : Burn of Hoglinns and its man made counterpart

4 km from Melsetter, Orkney Islands, Great Britain

Burn of Hoglinns and its man made counterpart

The natural burn on the left joins the Burn of Greenheads just north of the square. However, looking at the dam arrangement slightly upstream when the flow is high enough some of the flow is diverted into a man made channel which sends the water to Heldale Water. Heldale water would seem to be the holding reservoir on Hoy. Someone is bound to know better.
