Frozen lochan in Ruttle Wood A track runs down the hill from Fanellan, past this lochan/pond, then towards the Eilean Aigas driveway. A few parts of the track were covered with ice today.
This lochan isn&#039;t marked on the OS 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 maps. Maybe it has been created fairly recently.

Aigas Power Station Plenty of water in the river today, it is pouring down the spillway, and spraying up a fair bit.
The power station is on the River Beauly, and is part of the Affric-Beauly hydro-electric scheme, along with Kilmorack Power Station a short distance downstream.
For a similar view with less water, see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/54325">NH4743 : Aigas Power Station</a>
