Longannet Power station

Longannet Power station
At the time of opening in the early 1970s Longannet was the largest power station in Europe with a capacity of 2,400 MW. Designed by Scottish architects Robert Matthew, Johnson Marshall & Partners, construction began in 1965 on land reclaimed from the Firth of Forth using ash from the Kincardine power station. The first electricity was generated in 1970 and the station was running at full capacity by 1973 once construction of all units was complete.

In 2003 Longannet was identified as Scotland’s largest source of pollution. The power station closed in 2016 after 46 years of producing electricity. The closure marked the end of coal-fired generation in Scotland.

Beautifully composed, Amelia. I'd also agree that the chimney should be kept for historical value.

Une très belle image qui sera peut-être à classer dans les souvenirs !!!

Hi Amelia

I really like this composition, especially the way the chimney is thrusting its way up into the sky, matched by its reflection.

Best Wishes,
Peter

Interesting info and a great photo. Thought when I saw the photo at first that it was a lighthouse.
