Edinample Falls

Like many falls around the Highlands this set are not easily seen from the roadside. In addition, not any one single view point affords a full appreciation of the total height drop. This view shows the lower step in a total drop which I would estimate to be about 30 metres. This "head" advantage was clearly not lost on some early engineers as you can see the remains of a very old hydro electric scheme penstock.

You can just see the outline of the Mausoleum at the top of the falls.

(Penstock, the length of pressurided pipe line feeding water to the turbine)
