Book 2 in the Cannich Series of Novels – Stories of the Highlands in the Days of the Hydro
It is 1947, and in the Scottish Highlands, the glens of Affric, Cannich and Srathfarrar find Donald Fraser, gratefully returned from soldiering, meeting head on the challenges of peacetime life. The Hydro has arrived. Massive dams are being built to constrain the lochs and rivers. Long dark tunnels are being blasted through the mountains and new power stations will soon be sending electricity to the energy hungry south. The Hydro Electric Scheme is taking root, strengthening its concrete grip as old Highland ways yield to the demands of modernity. But some traditions die harder than others and some people are harder to placate and in many of the conflicts fuelled by the Hydro’s presence, Donald finds himself with a foot in both camps. But he knows that despite what some may wish for, the Hydro is here to stay.
In this, the second book in the Cannich series, Donald Fraser strives to ensure that the Hydro Days do not sweep away all the Highland Ways.
