Reviving the ‘Lost Art’ of Hydro-Electric Station Paintings

Paintings and drawings depicting hydro-electric power stations set against Scottish.landscapes have been unveiled in Inverness. The artwork, created in the 1940s and 1950s, showcases the envisioned integration of dams and power stations into picturesque settings such as Pitlochry in Perthshire and Foyers on Loch Ness.

These historical illustrations are part of SSE Heritage’s “Power from the Glens” exhibition, currently on display at Eden Court.

Dr. Alistair Fair, a reader in architectural history at the University of Edinburgh, commented on the significance of the exhibition: “These drawings, in a way, are a lost art now.”
