A bit of hydro-electric history. The Loch an Daimh Dam was constructed in the 1950s at the same time as the two dams in Glen Lyon, at Lubreoch and Stronuich. The result was that Loch Lyon, previously quite a small loch, grew much bigger, and the two small lochs here in Gleann Daimh, Loch Daimh and Loch Giorra, were joined into one larger loch. The proper name of the dam is apparently the Giorra Dam, while the loch is marked on the OS map as Loch an Daimh.
