Suggested additions and source conflicting

Suggested areas for more: The concept behind the scheme and the transition from the 1930s individual stations to the large integrated scheme that existed by 1960. The thematic architecture of the scheme and the way that changed following the deaths of various members of the board (broadly to integrate more with the terrain). The Historic Environment Scotland site is a super source for detail in this area. More on the broad nature of the work the scheme changed the water flow patterns across a huge area rather than just putting in a couple of dams. Recent upgrades / Renewals: e.g. Integration of the Beauly power link, climate change related upgrade works on the dams etc.

Oddly, SSE's own website seems to have different figures for the sizes and capacities of the dams compared to other sources. For instance Errochty is listed on SSE Renewables as 501 (presumably meters it doesn't say) while Canmore lists it at 340 m. Maybe measuring different bits? Is there a standard for where on a dam you measure? Skenu (talk) 09:25, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New structure is developing. Additional To do: report some of the controversy of the scheme both as originally thought and the more recent views on level of abstraction and destruction of habitat. Skenu (talk) 05:41, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Failed verification

I have added a failed verification tag to the ref Graham, David (1 January 1945). "Why should I protest against the Tummel-Garry Scheme." The link is currently dead, but there is an archived copy of the link on the wayback machine. However, the link goes to a general page about the Tummel-Garry scheme, rather than an article by David Graham, even though the archive date is only 1 day after the access date. The archive copies from earlier dates also contain the same general content. Bob1960evens (talk) 23:59, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been removed as part of an upgrade to the article. Bob1960evens (talk) 14:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
