Pitlochry Dam and Fish Ladder
The dam built across the River Tummel, built between 1947 and 1951, was originally seen as a major threat to Pitlochry´s tourism, but has since become a major attraction for visitors. The fish ladder was created to allow migrating salmon who annually swim upriver in January to breed to continue to do so. The full story of the dam is told at the Dam Visitor Centre, which has a pleasant café and a view over the water. There are pleasant walks from there around the dam.
