 Boleskine Shinty Club-Local History
What Foyers, a small hamlet in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, had in it's favor, was an abundance of water.
Through the diversion of the catchment area for the River Foyers there was no shortage of water to turn the vertical generators at the Smelter at Lower Foyers.
Millions of tons of water were used from the nearby hills to feed these generators and as a result the Falls were rendered less than impressive due to the diversion to the Smelter.
