Loch Tummel, Reservoir in Perth and Kinross, Scotland

Loch Tummel stretches 11 kilometers in length with a width of 0.95 kilometers, covering 579 hectares at 142 meters above sea level.

The construction of Clunie Dam in 1950 transformed Loch Tummel by raising its water level 4.5 meters as part of the hydroelectric power scheme.

The northern shore contains numerous archaeological sites, including Iron Age ring forts, abandoned towns, and Pictish fortified settlements dating back centuries.

The Loch Rannoch Conservation Association manages fishing permits for brown trout and pike, with specific regulations for catch limits.

An underwater crannog, an artificial island structure, remains submerged following the reservoir's water level increase during the hydroelectric development.

Location: Perth and Kinross

Part of: Tummel hydro-electric power scheme
