Rather than post another Longy thread (I mean the place has done the rounds) I thought I should add a thread of the finest Power Stations North of the Border over the last decade. I re-edited a lot of them to make them a bit better as god knows what I was thinking back when I took them. This may take two/three posts as 6 photos per place isnt enough 
Ten years of fun, you'll find the following places below.
Inverkip Power Station
Methil Power Station
Cockenzie Power Station
Castlebridge Colliery (where a lot of the Longannet coal came from)
Longannet Power Station
Sorry Brown and Mason (BAM) - Scottish Powers demolition contractor of choice - but we do love to beat you every time (you do a cracking job though)
OK then, lets begin:
Inverkip Generating Station - aka King Dong. For years, the tallest freestanding structure in Scotland. Its chimney reaching 778ft, and the view from the top - was amazing. Sadly, I wasn't too enamored by Power Stations in these early days. So many visits, so few photos.
Gorgeous Control Room
Disappearing Turbines
Turbine Hall
The end is nigh
Never understood why people liked big pipey things until now
Cool cross section
Long Way Down
Turbine Hall & Boilerhouse
Farewell King Dong
Only external I have sadly
28/7/13 the chimney finally fell and the torch was passed to Longannet Chimney - we'll get to that later
Next Up
Methil Generating Station
This was a curious one - so many people failed here. SO many attempts, so many fails. We pitched up at the end opf a long slog one day, and pretty much marched straight in. Oh Well!
External
Cute Little Turbines
Doors
Down in the depths
Little Sign
The chimney. SHame we never got in here

Next Up
Tullis Russel Paper Mill Power Station (OK not a main station but was connected to the grid and maintained by SPEN)
Little Parsons Turbines
Control Room
Down in the darkness
Dialtastic
Switchgear

: B&M do a good job, but I hate seeing these stations destroyed, I`m so pleased that the people of Dartford are fighting to save the Littlebrook chimney.
