973:, to advise on the design. MacColl chose to use a run-of-the-river scheme, so that the nature of the river would not be changed by the construction of reservoirs, and he designed ingenious tilting weirs, that would control river levels to within 6 inches (15 cm) of the optimum required to maintain flow over the falls and supply water for the turbines. Each consisted of three gates with counterweights, which could only move downwards by their lower section hinging, to allow more water to reach the turbines, when the water level and pressure rose above the optimum. The mechanism had not previously been used anywhere, but proved to be successful. The original gates were manufactured by

food. The planning ensured that there were generous circulation spaces, with gardens, walks and viewing points for the scenery. The huge mills were built in a simple classical style, and are an outstanding example of industrial architecture from the early 19th century. Power for the site was provided by constructing a weir to divert water through a 250-yard (230 m) tunnel to feed the village lade, which then powered waterwheels at each of the mills. By the late 19th century, a turbine had been installed to generate electricity, and the water wheels were removed in the 1930s. Most of the structures in the village have since become grade A

that burning coal was the only way to produce electricity, but his pioneering designs for this run-of-the river scheme led to him becoming one of the foremost engineers for hydro-electric schemes of the 20th century. His use of an advisory committee to oversee the designs, high quality architecture and innovative engineering of a high standard were all carried forwards to his work for the North of
Scotland Hydro-Electric Board from 1943 onwards. Lanark was the first of three pre-war public supply schemes, and the

The reserve is visited by around 60,000 people each year, and Scottish Power sponsor a ranger who interacts with visitors and carries out wildlife surveys. They have also contributed to a study to find out how access to Bonnington Pavilion and Bonnington Linn footbridge can be improved. Every year, the turbines are shut down for a few weeks, to allow maintenance to be carried out, and to allow visitors to see the falls with larger volumes of water flowing down them.

The turbine runners were replaced by new stainless steel parts in the late 1990s, resulting in a ten per cent improvement in efficiency, and the maximum output increasing by 14 per cent.

For the second problem, they contacted the Clyde Valley Company, who were the 'authorised undertakers' for the sale of electricity in the region.

A similar but smaller wing houses the electrical switch gear, and there is a house for the attendant with a pitched roof.

Mirrors was constructed, overlooking the Corra Linn waterfall. By the 1830s, it had become part of a network of riverside walks, cut through the woodland, to enable visitors to appreciate the grandeur of the river. A cast-iron footbridge linked the right bank of the Clyde to an island, enabling visitors to view the Bonnington Linn waterfall more easily. It was manufactured by Paterson of Carmichael in 1829.

Construction began in 1926, and the Bonnington and Stonebyres power stations, which were around 3 miles (4.8 km) apart, were completed by the end of that year. The power stations hold the distinction of being the first large-scale hydro-electric plants in the United Kingdom to be constructed to provide a public supply, rather than for industrial use. The
