Scottish Hydro Electric Transmission (SHE Transmission) held the discussion in Ardross on plans to improve the transmission network from Beauly to Loch Buidhe.
An alternative route for the transmission corridor will take the proposed new 275kV line away from the community and primary school; routing it to the northwest and avoiding the village.

The proposed route also allows for a reduced visual impact for the connection into the new substation at Fryish.
The area between Beauly and Shin is currently served by a double circuit 132 kV overhead line built in 1954.
It stretches approximately 67 km in length between Beauly Substation and Shin Substation and will be dismantled once the new line has been built.
Mark Baxter, Project Development Manager for SHE Transmission, said: "This corridor will be surveyed over the coming months, along with the other routes, and we will be carrying out further public consultation events with the communities in early 2016."
