Sloy Power Station and Pipeline

Highlight • Monument

Sloy Power Station and Dam is the largest conventional hydro power station in SSE’s existing hydro power fleet. Construction on the scheme began in 1949 and was completed in 1951, becoming the first hydro scheme to be developed under the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board. The scheme celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2021.

The existing power station is fed from Loch Sloy, just four kilometres away but, crucially, over 277 metres higher than the power station.

This is a really steep and technical descent, mostly unridable. Not really recommended for mtb. Stunning hike.

Ben Vorlich is the most northerly of the Arrochar Alps. It's a big, rugged mountain with great views of Loch Lomond and the surrounding hills. Most walkers climb it from the south, using this path and starting at Inveruglas.
