What the Lochay could look like......
This was the Lochay two days ago after some rain overnight. Normally the Lochay here is only 6-10 ft wide, with water no deeper than your ankles, even in a relatively wet summer. This year, there is no water abstraction in the upper glen while repair works are carried out to the hydro infra structure. What you see here therefore represents a natural flow in the Lochay, albeit after some rain (after a prolonged drought period).
It is just the upper Lochay that is up at the moment. The lower river is very low (no water from Glen Lyon being added, and Loch Lyon )below) is about as low as it has ever been. It will take more than a night's rain to fill it up again.

Low water levels at Loch Lyon
Loch Lyon is probably as low as it has ever been at present, with very little rainfall having fallen during 2010 to date.
VIDEO- Loch Lyon at record low levels
This was Loch Lyon yesterday...the gulls calling made it all the more eerie and still.
