IT WAS the first village in the world to have every house connected to electricity at a time London’s inhabitants were still reading by gaslight and now, over a century on, Kinlochleven has witnessed the switch on of a new multi-million pound hydro power scheme.
The event on Thursday saw a large number of local residents make their way up into the hills above the village for the official turning on of Green Highland Renewables’ latest scheme at Loch Eilde Mor.
