Glen Turret aqueduct A covered lade carries water from neighbouring hills to top up Loch Turret.  Very similar set up to the hydroelectric reservoirs all over the Highlands, but this time it is the public water supply.

Signpost, Glen Turret On the Loch Turret aqueduct service road at a junction.  I left the main drag here and soon got the attention of a keeper wearing a GoPro.  Not the most comfortable place to visit.  To be fair, I don't think he understood the concept of riding in on a road and then walking up a hill.
