Pitlochry Dam and fish ladder looking down towards Port na Craig suspension bridge (which is very bouncy!). If you’re lucky you will spot jumping salmon in the river, or see the dam open to let some of the water out of the loch on the other side.

The interesting fish ladder consists of 30 stepped basins, with the help of which the salmon can overcome the 20m high dam wall.
