Water
Restoration to Eyesore “Salmon” River
Perthshire "Comment"
A major campaign has been launched to
bring the River Garry back to life for
the first time in over half a century.
Since the 1950s virtually all the water
in the river has been systematically
abstracted for electricity generating
purposes. Thus, for most of the year,
a dry riverbed is exposed along a 13
mile stretch of the A9 between Loch Garry
near Drumochter and Struan near Blair
Atholl. Historically this was one of
the most important areas for salmon spawning
in the whole of the Tay catchment.
