Scope and Content Loch Errochty is a man-made freshwater loch situated within the Perth and Kinross council area at the edge of the Scottish Highlands. The loch stands at 330 metres above sea level, and is 5 km long and a kilometre across at its widest point. Its dam, 329 metres aboves sea level, lies at the head of Glen Errochty, and was constructed in 1957 by the contractors A. & M. Carmichael Ltd as part of phase two of the Tummel hydro-electric power scheme. The dam is an example of a diamond-headed buttress dam, 49 metres high and 354 metres across. Its shape provides extra strength to deal with possible tremors from the Highland Boundary Fault which runs just to the south of Pitlochry. Water from Loch Errochty is diverted through a 10 km long tunnel to the Errochty hydroelectricity power station at the western end of Loch Tummel.
