Recent additional sluice for Stonebyres Hydro Station
Stonebyres Power station is one of two hydro-electric power stations making up the Lanark Hydro Electric Scheme. This scheme was the first of its kind in the United Kingdom to produce a clean renewable energy, using water from the falls of Clyde and completed in 1927.

This bright green conduit appears to be tapping an additional supply of water for the power station.
