Pitlochry is a summer resort in the Scottish Highlands. The town stands in the Grampian Mountains on the River Tummel, in pleasant wooded country. The popular Pitlochry Festival Theatre presents plays and other events. The Pitlochry dam is a hydroelectric station on the Tummel. Salmon swim upstream past the dam via the 1,017-foot (310-meter) Pitlochry Fish Ladder. The ladder is made up of 34 pools, each about 20 inches (50 centimeters) higher than the last. The dam forms a lake called Loch Faskally.
