Join SSE's Head of Heritage, Gillian O'Reilly, for a fascinating journey through one of Scotland's greatest engineering and social achievements.
From Tom Johnston's wartime vision to the construction of dams, tunnels and power stations across the Highlands, Power from the Glens tells the remarkable story of how hydro-electricity brought light, opportunity and modern living to some of the most remote communities in Britain. Through historic photographs, personal stories and archive material, discover the pioneers, engineers and "Hydro Boys" whose work transformed the landscape and changed lives forever.
This illustrated talk will explore not only the engineering triumphs of the 1940s and 1950s, but also the lasting legacy of a renewable energy revolution whose impact can still be seen across Scotland today.
