The Hydro-Electric Development (Scotland) Act of 1943 called the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board (NoSHEB) into existence and under Tom Johnston's stewardship, the newly appointed NoSHEB undertook an intense programme of construction. #ThrowbackThursday @SSE @sserenewables
#acollection for us is our stories of electricity workers and electricity customers intertwined. Our heritage shows that our values of safety, service, efficiency and teamwork have a long pedigree. They remain central to our job today. #archive30 @ARAScot
A traditional staff kids Christmas party at St. Ambrose Hall, Westbourne in 1935! Not sure if any were #carolsingers but there is nothing better than a good old sing song at a party. #festive #ArchiveAdventCalendar @ARAScot
Pitlochry's famous fish ladder is made up of 34 tiered pools and helps salmon safely over the dam on their journey upstream and back again. This particular ladder has been crossed by over 250,000 salmon since it was built in 1952! #NationalWildlifeDay #salmon #pitlochry
We are celebrating #WorldPhotographyDay. Without photos we wouldn't have the same opportunity to look back at our company history. We have thousands of photos in our archive! #heritage
What's in #ArchiveBox 27? An album full of pics taken to record the demolition of the #Poole #PowerStation towers in 1993.
Anyone else end up with loads of almost identical pictures in an album because you didn’t want to part with any? #photography @ARAScot
#Outreach at its best:
The North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board raised its first distribution pole in 1946, as part of its Morar scheme. This brought electricity to tiny villages such as Bourblach, where the arrival of an electric cooker was a novelty, even for dogs!

We are blessed with some stunning #RuralLandscapes so we thought we would share some for this year’s #WorldHeritageDay theme. These colourful Artistic Impressions were used as part of the original construction scheme applications back in the 40s.
