Hi all,

My first ever post on here! Was up cycling on the conduit at Kinlochleven last week. Can anyone suggest some good books about the scheme and/or sources on the web?

Children of the Dead End & Moleskin Joe by Patrick McGill.The first one is an excellent account of the navvy lifestyle during the construction of the Blackwater Dam.

I heard about those books and will get them thanks. Are there any sites or technical books available.
