1191:, the architectural advisor to the scheme's "Amenities Committee". This committee was set up to "make to the Company such recommendations as they may think are reasonable and proper for the preservation of the beauty of the scenery" (from the 1929 Galloway water power act). Tarbolton was designer of the Pitlochry power station which bears some striking similarities to the Galloway turbine halls. Whilst no direct credit for the design work can be given to him, it is unlikely that he had no influence on the outcome. 1827: 1813: 19: 2640: 734: 554: 453: 204: 1841: 939: 727: 664: 603: 596: 500: 493: 347: 340: 277: 270: 121: 1799: 1179: 30: 1912: 932: 912: 851: 831: 795: 686: 650: 576: 473: 304: 250: 178: 144: 1006: 870: 547: 383: 311: 211: 99: 966: 824: 817: 741: 700: 657: 630: 623: 527: 520: 446: 419: 158: 986: 959: 890: 788: 768: 761: 707: 693: 426: 412: 374: 367: 333: 297: 231: 185: 151: 391: 2652: 1186:
The stations are generally white, Modernist structures, highly glazed and with large airy turbine halls. The designs were stylistically advanced for their time and can be viewed as some of Scotland's earliest modern buildings. The credit for the design is given to Sir Alexander Gibb & Partners,

The scheme was extended in 1984 with the addition of the Drumjohn power station which made use of the existing needle valve where the water from Loch Doon and the Deuch feed into the Dee. This station has a capacity of just 2.3 megawatts, but was constructed largely using existing infrastructure.

which made generation of electricity in remote areas useful. Hydro power was particularly helpful to this grid because of its ability to be turned on and off very quickly to meet peak demands (in contrast to oil and coal stations), and to meet the natural increase during the more energy demanding

The scheme was authorized by the Galloway Water Power Act on 10 May 1929, by which the Galloway Water Power Company was incorporated. Chairman of the board was former colonial administrator

The total cost of the scheme was around three million pounds. At a cost of £29 per kilowatt of installed capacity, they were some of the least costly stations ever built in the UK.
