This work is an account of the pioneering days of hydro-electricity in Scotland.

It shows how each hydro project brought its own set of technical challenges, underlining the remarkable engineering achievements involved in bringing hydro-electric power to the wild glens of the Scottish Highlands.

It concludes by looking at the future of hydro-electric power worldwide.

Is hydro-electric power the sustainable technology of choice in a new century already riven with ecological angst.

EMMA WOOD was born in Yorkshire, and after spells in East Anglia and Norfolk, she moved to Ross-shire in 1987. She is the author of Notes from the North, explaining her experiences as an Englishwoman living in North Scotland. Emma teaches English and is a freelance journalist.
