The Faskally Dam, only a few
hundred yards
west of Pitlochry town centre, houses a hydroelectric power station. A
walkway across the dam allows visitors to view the power station's
turbine
hall and also the dam's salmon ladder on the far side. |
 |
Loch Faskally stretches northwards
from the
dam for a few miles. |

Another shot of the Faskally Dam.. |
 |
The driveway from the dam to the
town is
a noted tourist pull-in and the surrounding greenswards seem to be a
favoured
area for the townspeople to exercise their dogs. Ben Vrackie is seen
overlooking
the town. |

Loch Faskally from the grassy rise
to the

The town and the slopes of Vrackie
from the
same spot. |
|
A garden cafe just off the driveway
to the
dam became a favourite haunt of mine during my three-day stay. |
|
The back gardens of the Fishers
Hotel in
the town centre, seen from the railway station car park. |
|
Pitlochry town centre - fine stone
architecture
typical of the region. |
|
The old mill and mill stream just
to the
east of the town centre. |
|
A little park just off the high
street where
the mill stream emerges. |
|
The Fishers Hotel, and a bit of
wrought iron
sculpture outside the bank. |
|
A final shot of Pitlochry high
street before
I wandered back to the hotel for my bags before catching the train
home.
I was sorry to leave. |
