Screened at the end of December, Cameron McNeish’s duo of Roads Less Travelled programmes (still available on BBC iPlayer) offered wonderful publicity for the stunning scenery of Argyll. One of the on-screen contributors was Mid Argyll writer and journalist Marian Pallister, who talked about the impact of the construction of the Cruachan hydro electric project on the rural area around Loch Awe.
Marian offered the following insight to the Argyllshire Advertiser.
My book about the project, Cruachan: The Hollow Mountain, was published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of its opening.
