Loch Fannich is a remote loch in Ross-shire, in the Scottish highlands. The loch is located 12 miles west of Strathpeffer. Loch Fannich was dammed and its water level raised as part of the Conon Hydro-Electric Power Scheme, built by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board between 1946 and 1961. An underground water tunnel leading from Loch Fannich to the Grudie Bridge Power Station required blasting out a final mass of rock beneath the loch, a procedure which was referred to popularly as "Operation Bathplug".〔("Conon Hydro-Electric Power Scheme." )〕 In the 1950s, the rising waters of the dammed loch subsumed the Cabuie Lodge (near the village of Achanalt), once home to Sir Arthur Bignold, MP for Wick Burghs in the early 20th century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NH2064 : Sign for Cabuie Lodge )〕 Allt a Choire Mhoir from Sgurr nan Clach Geala.jpg|The Loch from above Loch Fannich - geograph.org.uk - 1233848.jpg|Across the Loch ==See also== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loch Fannich」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
