Talk:River Brora

Féith Osdail

@Geopersona: Féith Osdail is not a headwater of the River Brora. It's a tributary of River Tirry, and it was extended east in the 1950s, presumably as part of Loch Shin's Lairg Power Station and Dam construction, to take a feed from Brora. The direction of travel is marked on this map: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=58.10418&lon=-4.32464&layers=193&b=1&marker=58.104557,-4.323179 --Tagishsimon (talk) 15:24, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Ah, yes, I see my mistake - thanks for attending to that! Geopersona (talk) 06:11, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

@Geopersona: Interesting to see GfS talk of "diverted headwaters of the Rivers Cassley and Brora" ... I've not found any sign of a Cassley diversion on a map yet. t/y for that ref; I hadn't got around to reading their article on the Shin hydro-power scheme. --Tagishsimon (talk) 09:35, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

This image - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/951943 shows the Cassley power station where Cassley water enters Loch Shin having tunnelled beneath the intervening ground of Maovally.
