Foyers

Foyers, a stream of Inverness-shire, running 9 miles northward to the east side of Loch Ness, 10½ miles NE. of Fort Augustus. During the last 1½ mile it makes a total descent of 400 feet, and forms two magnificent cascades, 40 and 165 feet high. The lower, called specially The Fall of Foyers, is one of the finest in Britain. In 1895-96 works have been established here for manufacturing, by electricity generated by the fall, aluminium out of bauxite brought hither from Ireland (see the article ALUMINIUM).
