   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glendoe_Hydro_Scheme

   A reservoir for the scheme was created by building a dam across the River Tarff. The dam is 3,150 feet (960 m) long, and some 115 feet (35 m) high where it crosses the original course of the river, but much lower at the sides. It is a rock fill dam, with most of the rock coming from a quarry which was flooded as the reservoir filled with water.
