Skye hydro scheme to undergo £1.5m upgrade

One of the smallest hydro schemes in Scotland is to have a £1.5 million re-furbishment in 2014, but it will be a complicated project as there is no road to it, only a railway down a cliff.

Sixty years after the Storr Lochs scheme opened on Skye, electricity giant SSE has decided it needs an upgrade, and those tasked with the job will have to commute to work by rail.

The Storr Lochs are a favourite spot for anglers on Skye situated three miles from Portree with the famous Old Man of Storr rock pinnacle to the north
