Pitlochry Salmon Ladder
Scottish Hydro Electric
A fascinating viewing chamber allowing close sight of travelling wild salmon.
The fish ladder was built at the Pitlochry Dam and Power Station to allow the fish to move up and over the 86.5m high dam to get to their spawning beds upstream.
Around 5,000 salmon are thought to use the ladder each year between April and late September.
Visit the salmon ladder all year.
The visitor centre is open April to October and has an entrance fee, t: 01796 473152 for further information.
