Winning pupil and name announced for new hydroelectric scheme
As you may have seen on the news or on social media, the winner of the naming competition has been announced…‘Hydro Ness’ by Grace MacKenzie of Milton of Leys Primary School has been chosen as the winning name and poster for the naming competition!!
I would like to thank all the pupils and teachers for submitting such creative and well thought out names and posters. Projects can be really difficult and going through all the names and posters was a real highlight and truly inspired the project team so I can’t thank you enough.
We look forward to arranging visits for all of you once the Hydro Ness is open!!
