Cruachan and its corrie |
A distant view of
Ben Cruachan looking west from Ben Challum, above Strath Fillan.
This is the site of a major hydro electric power station which traps
the water in the high corries before underground pipes drop into
the turbines and on into Loch Awe. Powerful machines pump the water
back uphill at off peak times if the upper reservoirs run low. |
