This is the dam at Loch an Daimh, the secondary resevoir in Glen Lyon. I was out surveying today with Philippa Furniss who had expressed an interest in what we were doing. We walked from here down the Allt Conait, and then about three miles down the main stem of the Lyon to Bridge of Balgie. This watercourse is completely abstracted and is virtually dry. A series of steep waterfalls meant that only the last few hundred yards were accessible to fish anyway.
The main items of interest today related to woodlands. We found a number of impressive stands of aspen, and we located the furthest extent to which non-native beech and sycamore had penetrated the glen so far. We also nearly got chased by a Highland coo....... Philippa is coming out again next week when we will be surveying from Keltneyburn down to the Point of Lyon where the Lyon meets the Tay. That will bring up the 400 mile mark.
