Loch Loyne With Music On History Visit To The North West Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Loch Loyne on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to the North West Highlands of Britain, United Kingdom. Loch Loyne is located between Glen Garry and Glen Cluanie. The A87 road runs beside the eastern side of the loch. Prior to the 1950s, the loch was originally much smaller being fed only by the naturally occurring River Loyne. However, as part of a wider Hydroelectric scheme, a dam was constructed in 1956 and completed in 1957 that increased the water level and flooded the original road built by Thomas Telford. A newer road, the current A87 was built higher up. The loch is visible to traffic on the road above. Water proceeds north from the dam via a tunnel into Loch Cluanie. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
