A site in Perthshire proposed to the Society for its scarce plants, the south bank of Loch Tummel now falls into one of Scottish Natural Heritage’s National Scenic Areas – places protected for their outstanding landscapes. Loch Tummel itself became part of a hydro-electric power scheme when Clunie Dam was constructed there in 1950. It is still very beautiful, however, and its most famous spot is Queen’s View – a vantage point on the north shore which was a favourite haunt of Queen Victoria.
