Loch Tummel is a long, narrow loch near Pitlochry; with the Clunie Dam at the east end, it forms part of the Tummel hydro electric power scheme. On a high point near the east end is the Queen’s View, where Queen Victoria admired the scenery in 1866.
Perhaps the most famous Scottish loch is Loch Ness, although there are other wonderful examples such as Loch Tummel, Loch Lomond and Loch Tay. The word glen is derived from the Gaelic gleann, a narrow valley, while strath is derived from the Gaelic strath, a broad valley. Glencoe is the most famous Scottish glen.
