Power from the Glens: Hydroelectricity and the 20th-Century Scottish Landscape with ALISTAIR FAIR & HARRIET RICHARDSON BLAKEMAN

A key element of rural Scotland’s 20th-century modernisation was the construction of hydroelectric power stations, which brought reliable electricity to thousands of homes. Dr Harriet Richardson Blakeman joins Dr Alistair Fair to explore the evolving architecture of hydroelectricity, show how the proposals were depicted in a vibrant collection of paintings, and consider how these buildings contributed to the evolution of a modern Scottish architecture.
