Loch Faskally, Perthshire
Loch Faskally is a man made loch in Pitlochry, Scotland. It was made to provide power for a hydro electric scheme and is surrounded by stunning scenery. It runs from the Pitlochry hydro dam at its southern end and the confluence of the rivers' Tummel and Garry. It normally wind free due to its location, tucked deep in a valley. A number of access points enable you to get on the water easily, they include:
Pitlochry boating centre,
Clunie Hydro station picnic area and car park,
Faskally caravan park.
Highlights worth checking out include the Linn of Tummel (a two tier waterfall, where the Tummel joins the loch, and the chance of seeing leaping salmon as they head upstream. The loch is next to the thriving tourist town of Pitlochry, home to 2 distilleries and a micro brewery to wet your whistle after a days exploration on beautiful Loch Faskally
