That certainly a while ago Jim. I've been there a lot more recently, nice scenic drive from Dumfries, on a good day. Were you involved in this project?
Involved!!!!! damn near built it. Started at 18 years old, then did 2years in the army in Malaya. Restarted after that waste of time and made a wee fortune.
Two old pence per hr height money also concrete money
Great memory Jim. Takes me back to my first job after school. I worked on Foyers pumped storage scheme during the summer of 1971. Did everything from surveyors runner to concrete gang labourer. Loved it and was earning more than my dad.
The rock tunnel was the best for cash, a bit dirty but worth it.
