Pitlochry Dam, Fish Ladder & Scottish Hydro Power Station
Our first stop in Scotland is the town of Pitlochry. We have some time before the B&B can take us, so we head into town and visit the Tummel River dam and fish ladder. Scottish Hydro has a generating unit at the dam as well. I wish we had a kayak!

Pitlochry Dam Overflow - Tummel River Turns Into a Torrent
Two days of heavy rains in the Highlands of Scotland turn the normally peaceful Tummel River into a raging torrent. Water is pours over the Pitlochry Dam after the rains as the Highlands drain to the sea.
Cruachan Power Station - ScottishPower
Cruachan Power Station, near Oban, celebrated its 50th anniversary on Thursday 15th October 2015, marking half a century of powering Scotland's breakfasts and tea times from deep inside the mountain of Ben Cruachan.
Her Majesty the Queen presided over the official opening ceremony on 15th October 1965, six years after construction had started.
Widely regarded as an engineering masterpiece, and often referred to as The Hollow Mountain, Cruachan was devised by Sir Edward MacColl and was built by a workforce of 4000. Over 220,000 cubic metres of rock was blasted and drilled by explosives experts know as Tunnel Tigers, to create a cavern 1km inside the mountain to house the turbines and a network of pipes and tunnels.
The concept behind Cruachan is a lot simpler than the construction efforts required to make it a reality. The station stores water in an upper reservoir, ready to release and generate power when demand from homes and businesses is high. When demand is low, Cruachan takes surplus electricity from the grid to pump water from Loch Awe back up to the reservoir. It helps to balance supply and demand on the national grid.
Cruachan can produce electricity for the grid in two minutes - or 30 seconds if its turbines are already primed. This flexibility means that National Grid often calls on Cruachan to support peak demand from homes and businesses, typically at breakfast and tea time.
At full operation Cruachan can meet the power demands of more than 200,000 homes. However, unlike other power stations, Cruachan can also act as a ‘battery’. When the turbines are reversed they use excess electricity from the national grid to pump water back in to the upper reservoir, ultimately storing this energy.
Hugh Finlay, Generation Director at ScottishPower, said; It was a prodigiously complex feat of engineering to design a power station buried deep inside a mountain, and it was a herculean task to construct it. The genius of Sir Edward MacColl’s initial design, coupled with the skill and determination over six years from the 4,000 strong workforce, ensured that Cruachan Power Station was built to last. It is as important today as it was 50 years ago.
The station has also been a major presence in the local community. Generations of families have worked there over the years, and Cruachan has only been a success because of their efforts. Hundreds of engineers and technicians and support staff have turned up to work every day deep inside a mountain to power our morning cups of tea and ensure we can watch our favourite TV shows.
ScottishPower has invested significantly in Cruachan, meaning the station will play a pivotal role in supplying electricity in Scotland for decades to come. We are also investigating the potential of doubling the capacity of the station, because we believe that pumped storage hydro power plants can have an even bigger role to play in supporting the growth of renewable energy.
By the banks of Loch Awe, a plaque pays tribute to the 36 people who lost their lives working during the construction of Cruachan. The story of those men and all of the workers who built the power station is told on a daily basis to the thousands of visitors who tour the station every year.

A huge thanks to Alan Jamieson for filming this for me, an arial view of Pitlochry impressive to say the least and I hope any old Pitlochry friends who have perhaps moved away appreciate and enjoy.

Hydro Electric Power in the Scottish Highlands
Recalling the post-war era of Highland hydro-electric construction. The dammed lochs are part of the scenery now, the tunnels that feed them all but forgotten. But for the men who built them, the memories, stories and songs are as fresh today as conditions were harsh and dangerous then
