Loch Tummel

Loch Tummel is a large reservoir in Scotland's Perth and Kinross region. The water stretches across an elongated body with forested shores and mountains visible in the distance.

A dam completed in 1950 transformed this place by raising the water level. This change was part of a larger scheme to generate electricity for the region.

The northern shore holds traces of ancient settlements, some now hidden beneath the water's surface. These places tell the story of communities that lived here long ago.

This is a good spot for fishing, though the activity is regulated by local rules. Visitors should check ahead about what permissions and conditions apply.

An ancient structure that was artificially built on the lakebed now rests permanently beneath the water's surface. This submerged creation stands as a quiet reminder of how humans have changed this landscape.
