Hidden deep within the mountain of Ben Cruachan on the shores of Lochawe is Cruachan Power Station. A five star visitor attraction, its visitor centre welcomes over sixty thousand visitors each year.

Just a short distance from Oban, here you can discover one of the hidden wonders of the highlands. A power station buried one kilometre below the ground. At its centre lies a massive cavern, high enough to house the Tower of London. Here enormous turbines convert the power of water into electricity, available to you in your home at the flick of a switch.

The power station was built deep inside the mountain "Ben Cruachan"

At the visitor centre you will take an unforgettable coach journey deep into the mountain down to sea level, there you will feel you are in a different world, a place so warm that sub tropical plants grow.
