Kendoon South Dam, Galloway Hydroelectric Power Scheme

Kendoon South Dam, part of the Galloway Hydroelectric Power Scheme, was designed by James Williamson with consulting engineers Sir Alexander Gibb and Merz and McLellan in 1936. This structure features a long, shallow V-section concrete arch and gravity dam, with a single control tower located at the center. An elevated roadway runs along the crest, supported by piers over a fixed spillway on the eastern side, while the western side has a stepped eaves course. The roadway is bordered by a concrete parapet, and larger piers at the terminal bays act as buttresses on the downstream face. A curved wave-wall is situated at the base of the dam. The control tower spans a walkway and has chamfered upper corners, with a tall, narrow round-headed opening at the base and a single rounded-headed window above. The doorway, added in 2009, has a metal covering.
