Flood Protection Schemes
We have completed a number of Flood Protection Schemes in recent years:

Drumnadrochit Flood Protection Scheme
The Drumnadrochit Flood Protection Scheme was completed in September 2022. It consists of flood walls and embankments.
Smithton and Culloden Flood Protection Scheme
The Smithton and Culloden Flood Protection Scheme was completed in 2019. The flood scheme will protect 129 properties that would otherwise be at risk of a flooding during a 1-in-200-years event.
River Ness Flood Alleviation Scheme
The award winning River Ness flood alleviation scheme was completed in 2015 and includes flood walls, embankments and 12 flood gates which are normally kept open to maintain access at key locations. The scheme protects 800 homes and 200 businesses in Inverness.
