Loch Errochty

Loch Errochty is a man made freshwater loch situated within the Perth and Kinross council area at the edge of the Scottish Highlands near the Highland Boundary Fault where the topography changes to lowland.
== Overview ==

The Errochty dam lies at the head of Glen Errochty, two km NW of the hamlet of Trinafour at the approximate grid reference of . The loch has an area of 303 hectares〔(www.almanacofscotland.co.uk. ) Gives surface area of loch.〕 and is 5 km long and a kilometre across at its widest point. The loch is entirely man made, being created by the damming of the Errochty Water, the river which runs down the glen. The dam was constructed in 1957 by the contractors A. & M. Carmichael Ltd as part of phase two of the Tummel hydro-electric power scheme. The loch stands at 330 metres above sea level. The dam itself is an example of a diamond-headed buttress dam, it is 49 metres high and 354 metres across. The diamond-headed buttresses provide extra strength to deal with possible tremors from the Highland Boundary Fault which runs just to the south of Pitlochry.〔''"The Dambuilders : Power from the Glens"'', James Miller, ISBN 1-84158-225-5 Page 117 Gives details of Diamond headed dam.〕 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. The gatehouse for the tunnel at Loch Errochty is near the southern shore, the actual intake is beneath it at the bottom of the loch. The power station has a maximum output of 75 MW and is the largest power producer of the nine main stations in the Tummel scheme. Water is released from the dam to compensate the flow of the Errochty Water, this compensation water flows down a pipeline for 1.5 km to the very small 500 kW〔(Trinafour Power Station ), British Hydropower Association〕 hydro power station at Trinafour before being released into the Errochty Water.〔(Hydro-Electricity Sites and Generating Capacity in Scotland. ) Gives details of dam dimensions and power station details.〕
