An old name, not mentioned on maps but the bit beside the visitor centre, slightly in direction of the village.
In 2012 there was even a press release claiming that 100% of Scotland's homes would be hydro powered by 2017.
In 2017 Scotland's hydro generated 5.4 TWh, and Scotland's homes consumed 9.8 TWh. So 55% of Scotland's homes were powered by hydro. Not 100%.
