station has a capacity of 2.4MW. A mass gravity dam was built at the eastern end of Loch
Luichart, with a tunnel to supply water to Luichart power station at the western end of Loch Achonachie, which can provide 34MW from a head of 184 feet (56 m). Additional water was obtained by building a concrete gravity and earthfill dam across the River Meig, to form Loch Meig. The dam was built by Duncan Logan (Contractors), and was 585 feet (178 m) long with a height of 86 feet (26 m). A tunnel transfers water from Loch Meig to Loch Luichart. The final part of this stage was to construct a dam across the River Conon at Torr Achilty, to create Loch Achonachie. The mass gravity dam is 808 feet (246 m) long and 76 feet (23 m) high. The water level only varies by 2 feet (0.6 m), as the main function of the dam is to regulate compensation water in the river below, but discharges are fed through Torr Achilty power station, which can generate up to 15MW.

2193:, which drops by some 700 feet (210 m) in the 6 miles (9.7 km) above its junction with the Conon. A mass gravity dam was constructed 8 miles (13 km) from the junction, which was 1,025 feet (312 m) long and 167 feet (51 m) high. The resulting reservoir is nearly 5 miles (8 km) long. Because the water level is around 135 feet (41 m) higher than it was when it was just a river, a second dam had to be built to prevent water flowing down a branch in the valley. This is an earth dam with a concrete core, of a similar length to the main dam. Over 3 miles (4.8 km) of tunnel and a steel pipeline deliver the water to Orrin power station on the southern shore of Loch Achonachie. This phase cost £2.8 million, of which a substantial amount was needed to ensure that fishing could continue in the valley.
2125:(AOD), while the surface of Loch Luichart is 289 feet (88 m) AOD. A sloping tunnel was constructed from a point above the site of the power station to a point around 90 feet (27 m) below Loch Fannich. From there it was driven beneath the loch until there was only 25 feet (7.6 m) of rock between the excavation and the water. Rock was carefully removed above the tunnel to reduce the thickness to 15 feet (4.6 m), and a large sump was excavated, into which the final plug of rock would settle when it was blasted away. Two temporary concrete bulkheads and one steel bulkhead were constructed in the tunnel, to protect the tunnel and to ensure that debris from the rock plug would not be washed downstream. The final blast was successful, and was the second time that such a technique had been used in Britain.

were four major floods between 1962 and 1989, with water levels on the
Marybank to Moy Bridge road reaching 16 feet (4.9 m) in 1962. Subsequently, compensation flows from Loch Luichart were increased, to ensure that the loch had spare capacity at times of flood. The North of Scotland Hydro-electric Board bought all of the salmon fishing rights, apart from those owned by Sir John Stirling of the Fairburn estate, who refused to sell. The Board installed fish lifts at the dams, including a fish ladder at the Falls of Conon, enabling fish to reach the River Bran for the first time, and creating large new spawning grounds. They also created a large capacity hatchery, and guaranteed compensation flows on the Conon all year round, which prevented low water levels in the summer months from curtailing fishing.
2177:. To reduce the amount of cement used, the Glascarnoch dam consisted of a concrete gravity dam with earth fill. It was constructed by Reed and Mallik and was 1,753 feet (534 m) long, with a maximum height of 141 feet (43 m). The Vaich dam was smaller, at 843 feet (257 m) long and 123 feet (37 m) high, and was built by the same contractor. The flow into both lochs was increased by building aqueducts and tunnels to capture water from other watercourses, and a tunnel fed water from Loch Vaich into Loch Glascarnoch. The surface level of Loch Vaich is 840 feet (260 m) AOD, while that of Loch Glascarnoch is 827 feet (252 m) AOD. A 4.5-mile (7.2 km) tunnel from just above the Glascarnoch dam feeds water to Mossford power station, on the bank of Loch Luichart.
2001:. Loch Achonachie was created by constructing a concrete mass gravity dam at its eastern end. It includes a Borland fish pass, to enable migrating fish to reach the upper reaches of the river, with a single-storey turbine hall and two-storey office block built into the dam structure. The architect was James Shearer, and the building is dated 1955. To the south of the dam is the Fairburn estate, 1,100 acres (445 ha) of designed landscape, created in the late 18th and early 19th century, before it was remodelled by John Stirling in the late 19th century. As well as remodelling the park, he built a Baronial mansion house in 1877–78. Known as Fairburn House, it was designed by Wardrop and Reid, and most of it has three storeys, although it includes a five-storey tower.
2118:, members in the House of Commons attempted to get the findings of the tribunal which had considered objections to it overturned, but this was defeated. In the House of Lords, Lord Kinnaird wanted to introduce a similar motion, but was persuaded not to. However, he introduced a debate to consider the future of the board, at which various members of the house suggested that hydroelectric power was not needed in Scotland, as it would soon be replaced by nuclear power. Lord Kinnaird did not succeed, and during the debate Lord Westwood, the leader of the house, announced that all objections to the Fannich scheme had been withdrawn following discussions between the board and the objectors. It thus became the board's third project when it was authorised in late 1945.
2076:, which financed the construction of a dam at the eastern end of Loch Luichart, and a power station near the Conon Falls. The power station was 120 feet (37 m) below the level of the loch, and contained two 500 kW generating sets. However, the company experienced difficulties in maintaining the system, and asked Scottish Power for help to manage and finance their operation in 1928. Scottish Power took over the company in 1931 when they bought all the share capital, repaid the startup loan, and increased the capacity of the Loch Luichart power station. By 1933, they had constructed a transmission line from the station along the shore of the Cromarty Firth and up the coast as far as
2201:, and a sluice gate then closes so that the shaft fills, enabling the fish to reach the upper pool and to proceed upstream. Juvenile smolts can enter the upper pool and slither down the shaft when leaving the spawning grounds. A Borland fish pass can accommodate changes in the upper surface level of 20 feet (6.1 m), but because the level of the Orrin Reservoir varies by much more than this, four fish passes were built. Similar fish passes were also installed at Torr Achilty, Luichart, Meig and Achanalt dams, and whereas fish had previously been unable to access the Conon above Conon Falls, the fish passes opened up some 20 miles (32 km) of river to them, as far upstream as

fishing started to become unviable. In 1920 the Moray Firth Salmon
Fishing Company was set up by Sir John Stirling, Lord Roberts and others. The company bought up the fishing rights in the Firth and the Conon estuary, and no netting took place for a while to allow stocks to recover, after which they reintroduced fishing. They did not get the balance right, as stocks dwindled in the 1980s. The average number of fish caught in the Firth between 1977 and 1986 were 502 salmon and 1478 grilse, adult salmon that had only spent one year at sea before returning to the river. The Atlantic Salmon Conservation Trust bought the fishing rights in the Firth in 1991 and mothballed them.
2231:
for several centuries, and by the early 19th century, there were a large number of fixed nets in the firth, as well as nets and fixed salmon traps called cruives in the river. The
Cromarty Estate fought a long battle in the courts to prevent other riperian landowners from using stake nets. It lasted from 1828 to 1837, and the court agreed with their case in 1838, prohibiting the use of fixed engine nets in the Firth. This became a byelaw in 1865. As fishing for salmon became more popular, the river proprietors realised that very few salmon were reaching the upper reaches of the river system to spawn, as so many were being caught in traps at Brahan or netted elsewhere.

1937:. A series of springs on the slopes of Càrn Loisgte and Carn Breac fall into Loch na Mòine Mhòr and Loch an Fhiarlaid, from which the Abhain Dubh ("Black River") flows eastwards to the diminutive Loch Crann, and the much larger Loch a' Chroisg, which is over 160 feet (49 m) deep in places. The A832 Kinlochewe to Achnasheen road runs along the northern shore of the loch. From the eastern end of the loch, the waterway becomes the River Bran, and is crossed by a Parliamentary bridge at Achnasheen. This is a single span bridge built of rubble as part of a ten-year project to construct a road from Achnasheen to Strome Ferry between 1808 and 1819.

Fannich passes through the station and discharges into Loch Luichart. There is a scattering of houses in the area, which form the hamlet of Lochluichart. The Allt Coire Mhuilidh flows southwards and into the loch near the hamlet of Corriemoillie, after which the road and railway are separated from the loch by a range of hills, the highest of which is Cnoc na h-lolaire at 1,161 feet (354 m). The loch turns to the south, and the dam is to the north of Little Scatwell.

turbines produce a maximum of 100 kW, and energy not used by the estate is sold to the
National Grid. The turbines, which were commissioned in October 2015, are designed to work with a head of just 5 feet (1.5 m). Because the level of the river fluctuates by up to 2.3 feet (0.7 m) as a result of discharges from the older hydro-electric schemes further up the river, the screws are set at different heights, to ensure the water is used efficiently whatever the river level.

and so prepared sketches for a concrete, steel and glass building. MacColl asked if
Shearer had seen concrete buildings after they had been exposed to the Scottish weather for 20 years, and when Shearer admitted that he had not, MacColl organised a weekend visiting buildings to see how concrete weathered. As a result, the use of local stone to face large concrete buildings became a policy within the Board, and Grudie Bridge power station was redesigned as a consequence.

It is 8 feet (2.4 m) in diameter, but as it progresses downhill, the internal diameter reduces, and the walls get thicker. Close to the power station, it splits into two feeds, each of which supplies a 12MW vertical shaft
Francis turbine. This was one of the last projects to use a surface pipeline, as the board were keen to reduce the visual impact of their schemes subsequently.

Although nets in the Firth have now gone, fish are predated by seals which live in the Firth, and hunt up river as far as Torr
