Old photograph of a fisherman in a fishing boat on Loch Ericht near Dalwhinnie in the Highlands of Scotland. The loch is part of a hydro electric scheme and is dammed at both ends. Water flows into the northern end via the Cuaich Aqueduct. The southern end is linked to a hydro electric power station at Loch Rannoch by the 4 mile long River Ericht. The northern dam protects the village of Dalwhinnie from flooding. Loch Ericht is surrounded by a number of Munros, including Ben Alder mountain and Geal-Chàrn mountain. Traditional hunting areas border the loch. These are called forests; the chief of which is Ben Alder Forest.
