Although the aluminium smelter closed in 2000, the hydro plant remains in operation, supplying power to the Lochaber Aluminium Smelter at Fort William with surplus power sold to the grid. The sunlit Beinn na Caillich makes a fine background here. The path from the bridge forms the return loop of the River Leven Trail.
