About Loch Cluanie

Loch Cluanie is a lake situated in the northwest part of Highland, Scotland. The dam that created Loch Cluanie was constructed in 1957 by Mitchell Construction as part of the Glenmoriston hydroelectric project applied by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board. The Cluanie dam has a length of 675 m (2214 feet) and a height of 40 m (131 feet). 
The lake is also the residence of the free music festival Midge Death kept every year in September. The west side of the loch is sometimes put out of sight by the famed Cluanie Curtain, a meteorological phenomenon that involves a bank of rainfall which goes east up the loch but rarely reaches as far as the dam.
