Last redundant electricity pylon pulled down

The last of about 300 redundant electricity transmission towers in the Cairngorms National Park have been pulled down.

They have been demolished as part of SSE’S £600 million upgrading of the 137-mile Beauly-denny power line. The final phase of the tower removal work involved 84 between Aviemore and Kingussie.

New towers were built in parts of the park for the Beauly to Denny project, but fewer in total than previously. Between Aviemore and Kingussie, underground cables have been installed to replace the overhead cables.
