Pitlochry Dam Power Station, Fish & Salmon Ladder, Visitor Centre Tour - Highland Perthshire

The Pitlochry fish ladder is a fish ladder next to the Pitlochry Power Station, near Pitlochry, Perth and Kinross, Scotland, which allows salmon to travel upstream during the breeding season.
Pitlochry Dam was built between 1947 and 1951 as part of a networks of dams in the Highlands to generate electricity. The River Tummel was dammed, flooding the old Pitlochry Highland Games field, today known as Loch Faskally. Pitlochry Dam & Fish ladder is one of the town's more famous attractions, anyone who has visited Pitlochry has visited the Dam.
The Fish Ladder was built as part of Pitlochry Dam to allow the annual migration of thousands of Atlantic Salmon to pass through the dam wall. The Fish Ladder has a total of 34 chambers or small artificial pools, each one with a water level slightly higher than the one below, a series of steps, gradually taking the fish in to Loch Faskally.
There is a viewing room where, if they're lucky, visitors can watch the mighty salmon. The viewing room is in one of the three resting chambers that allow the fish to catch their breath before the swim through the next set of chambers. The fish counter records how many fish have passed through each season.
Pitlochry Dam Visitor Centre has an excellent exhibition down stairs, with interactive models on how electricity is created, salmon swimming up the fish ladder, to a film of how the dams were built, there is also an excellent cafe and shop, the cafe balcony allows you to sit with your coffee or light meal with views over the dam.
