| Title | Lednock Dam buttresses The view here is straight upwards between two of the massive concrete buttresses on the downstream side. The crest of the dam is around 100 feet above the photographer. This dam is one of two Diamond-headed buttress dams in Scotland. Allowance was made in its design for the proximity of the Highland Boundary Fault, which produces occasional minor 'earthquakes'. See also 1598799 and 1598790. |
