Harnessing the Highlands is a film installation by multi-disciplinary artist Fraser Mullen.
The film explores how hydroelectric power shaped post-war Scotland, tracing the transformation of the Highlands from a quiet rural landscape into a centre of industrial innovation. Set to a soundtrack of field recordings, acoustic music and electronic sound, the work captures both the promise of renewable energy and the profound changes it brought to local communities and the environment. Drawing on archival and contemporary material, it connects these past debates to today’s urgent questions of energy, land and sustainability.
