We acknowledge the sponsorship of Scottish Hydro-Electric and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency in suporting the costs of creating digital time series.

The catchment is in many respects natural, but Loch Lochy has the Caledonian Canal running through it, completed in 1822.

Subsequent to McClean's colletion of these records, the flow of the River Lochy via the Mucomir Cut was harnessed by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board by the construction of the Mucomir Power Station, commissioned in 1962.

At the time of writing (2024), the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) operate gauges in the Lochy system at Gairlochy and Camisky.
