Dear Deer..

..another beautiful day in the NW Highlands. Went for a lovely walk up the side of Loch Glen Dubh to see how the finished hydro scheme had been finished off. They've been working on it for a couple of years and I'm quite impressed with the finished job. OK, there will be some scars on the landscape, but they'll soon recover and in a couple of years it'll be hard to see where they've been. most of pipe work and generating station has been built underground with the surface building being done in drystone walling.

The dam at the head of the valley is a bit of an eyesore being constructed of concrete, but is nicely tucked in behind a small hill. And it's only raised the water level by a couple of meters..

The sun has been shining, and birds singing, stags have been bellowing which echoed around the hills..

This really is a magical place..
