Loch Sloy Dam

A gentle 6 hour stroll (?) up to Loch Sloy Dam, back down the valley and around the edge of Ben Vorlich before returning along the shore of Loch Lomond.


It is of course fantastic that it has been a lovely warm sunny day - but this means some boring photos.... I may regret that statement when the snow forecast for the weekend arrives.


The Loch Sloy hydro scheme was build just after WWII taking water down from Loch Sloy to Loch Lomond and generating electricity for the city of Glasgow. It is a pumped storage system used to generate electricity at peak periods from the kinetic energy held by water pumped up to Loch Sloy during the night.
