NN 7635 5900 An enhanced historic building survey was carried out of Tummel Power Station, Tummel Bridge, on 4–5 May 2021, prior to the alteration of the existing structure including the replacement of historic plant and machinery and other internal alterations.
Tummel Power Station is an example of inter war classicism design, with the imposing design dominating the surrounding area. Built during the early 1930s it epitomises inter war modernisation and it is a highly significant example of the use of hydro for large-scale public supply, with the capacity for baseload generation. The retention of much of the original internal plant and machinery adds to its significance and stands as a testament to the quality of its design.
