Power From The Highlands Awakens Scotland’s North
After 1745 clan dispersal and Highland depopulation, farming upheaval and migration followed. Tom Johnston pushed forestry and the North of Scotland Hydro Electric Board to turn Highland water into power, building tunnels and turbines across Cannich, Affric, and Loch Lomond areas. By 1960 large schemes would link lochs over 350 square miles, delivering electricity to millions and spurring regional regeneration.
