A835 alongside Loch Glascarnoch
Looking along the southern shore of the loch; the dam is at the far end and the intake tower for the tunnel through to Lochluichart is L of centre.
Glascarnoch hydro scheme
Work started at the Glascarnoch site in 1953 and the dam was completed in 1957. There is no power station here but the loch collects water from Loch Droma to the W and via a tunnel from Loch Vaich to the N; the stored water is then transferred by tunnel southwards to the power station at Mossford near Grudie Bridge. More details are given in ‘The Dam Builders’ by James Miller (Birlinn, Edinburgh 2010).
