Hall of Shame: Corporate Desecration

Carn a'Chuilinn (9B, LR34)

Andy Hyams: This Corbett is in the middle of the massive Glen Doe hydro project. I visited it in February 2006 just before work got underway, but subsequent expeditions from Glen Brein or the upper Spey to Corbett Tops further east brought home the vast extent of construction operations. I doubt access is currently possible up Glen Doe. The easiest route is probably along the Corrieyairack track and then across the River Tarff. I approached from Loch Tarff because I wanted to collect the tops to the north, but this would now involve crossing a new and busy haul road NE of the principal top. This road is to facilitate construction of a large dam across the River Tarff above the falls. I suspect water will eventually cover the entire area between Meall Caca and Carn Easgann Bana.
