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 NH4743 : Aigas Power Station

Teanassie Primary School

Teanassie Primary School is a small school, for pupils from the rural areas around Kilmorack and Struy. The main school building dates from 1877, plus there are several demountable units in use. The name Teanassie may be from the Gaelic for "house of the drover's stance" (taigh an fhasaidh) or possibly "house of the waterfall" (taigh an easa).

Minor track through Ruttle Wood

It looks like this forest track isn't used much. It is rather overgrown and muddy in places, and here it is obstructed by a fallen tree. This part of the woods has a mixture of trees - it looks like pine on the left, and birch down the slope to the right.
