Assynt Crofters Trust in Trouble with their Dam
It is allegedly spoiling the salmon
A right row has erupted over the scheme executed
by the Assynt Crofters Trust whereby they built a £600,000
hydroelectric plant in the hope that they could sell electricity
to the national gird. The trouble is that apparently someone mis-advised
them about whether or not there were any salmon in Loch Poll. Who
could that have been?
The story is well told by journalist Jeremy Watson
in Scotland on Sunday 27th October (Figure 1).
