Save Loch Ness
3rd January 2026
The snow stopped falling for a spell so I popped the drone up to get a view up the glen towards Meal Fuar-mhonaidh, a landscape that is being threatened by industrial overdevelopment in the name of pumped hydro, a technology that is really past it's sell by date with the development of other options that can be constructed nearer the locations that the power is required. Loch Ness and it's surrounding area is being hammered by these schemes all designed to store power for the South East of England at the expense of our more wild places... and it's not just the odd development here and there... and it's not even just Loch Ness (although we bear the brunt of it), the whole Highland landscape is under threat.
(You may recognise the photography on the website pushing to save Loch Ness - it is donated by myself to raise awareness.)
