Corra Linn Dam
Corra Linn Dam is a concrete hydroelectric dam on the Kootenay River between the cities of Castlegar and Nelson, in the West Kootenay region of southern British Columbia. Rapids The Corra Linn Rapids, named after the Falls of Clyde upper falls of Cora Linn, preceded the dam at this location. Neighbourhood The adjacent former train station and neighbourhood were named after the rapids, but the locality has been frequently misspelled as Corra Lynn. Dam For the six-year period after the 1932 opening, the dam was not permitted to raise the level of Kootenay Lake. It operated as a run-of-the-river hydroelectricity plant allowing the spring freshet to pass downstream.

Corra Castle
Corra Castle (also known as Corrax, Corax or Corehouse Castle) is a ruined 16th-century castle within the Corehouse Estate near New Lanark, Scotland. It overlooks Corra Linn, one of the four waterfalls which make up the Falls of Clyde. In 1967 it became a scheduled monument. The site was chosen because it was seen as being impregnable, as it is surrounded by sharp cliffs on three sides. It features a ha-ha as part of its design, offering an unobstructed view of the surrounding countryside. Corra Castle was at one time the residence to one of the branches of the notable family of Somerville. In his 1832 book, The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia, David Brewster wrote: ...and directly above the upper fall, stands the ruinous castle of Corra, formerly the residence of a family of the name of Somerville...
