Awesome well done Scotland 👍🏼

[@markcooper6042]

A superb job; even the altered dam looks wonderful.

[@curtisnixon5313]

Next step is to re-introduce beavers so they can dam the river . . .

[@ssergorp7105]

Beavers are good at allowing rivers to meander, subsequent waterlogged and decaying detritus proliferates insect life which is especially important to young salmon and trout. Beaver dams are totally different to concrete dams. Rivers need a mix of eco systems to thrive. This work is wonderful.

Tell me you know nothing about ecology without TELLING me you know nothing about ecology... 😒

[@arisaka9963]

Seems like a pretty puny dam to be one of the biggest dam removals in Scotland

[@Chiaroscuro22]

You can see it from space. 😂

[@OssianLore]

An indication of just how few such projects have ever been undertaken in the country

[@wilsonbriggs1614]

Scotland does not need large reserves of water! @@OssianLore

[@jebbo-c1l]

Scotland as a proud Salmon country should be aiming to remove as many dams as possible unless they're absolutely necessary

[@mikestarkey7989]

Are there any plans to remove the silt build up?

[@matthewgibbs6886]

the river will move it over time

[@thejbeeful]

Fantastic transformation. Wish that they had been able to remove the whole dam, its such an eyesore. Small beginnings though. 😊

[@PNL-DJ-1]

Natural floods will do that.

[@fredblogsmac.5697]

if they never built any we may still have Salmon, now its too late

[@marumiyuhime]

support dam removal

[@geoffreylee5199]

European beavers are gone, in some areas they are bringing in Canadian beaver …

[@marumiyuhime]

I did not know canada had it own beavers must be different than north american beavers
