Re: Tigh na Cailleach under threat

I'm off there at the start of May combining a much looked forward to visit Tigh na Cailleach with some hill loch, trout-commando activities.

This is very worrying news for the Cailleach. Like many I am very much in favour of Hydro-schemes. My father built a lot of the switching gear for the original Hydro network built in the Highlands in the 1940's and 1950's. He spent long periods away from home during those years. The scheme was vast - not just a few dams with turbines and switching stations - but a vast system of tunnels connecting distant lochs and channeling water through chains of lochs over long distances. It is often only really utilised to cope with a surge in demand when the kettle goes on for Eastenders. It would be such a pity to wreck the peace the Cailleach enjoys for that.
I havent read the full proposal yet but I shall and will leave my comment on the application.
