From Graces Guide
.
1927 The Central Scotland scheme was the first scheme proposed to the Central Electricity Board for linking up the national electricity network; it affected c.5000 sq.miles of central Scotland. Out of the existing 36 generating stations in the area, 10 would be retained, to be reduced eventually to 6, 2 of which would be extended (at Dalmarnock and Portobello) and 2 new ones built; a series of high voltage transmission lines would be constructed to link up the various undertakings; the frequency of the alternating current would be standardised at 50 cycles/second.[1]
