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 hollow mountain is a place like no other, an underground world on a spectacular scale.

Cruachan’s Visitor Centre is open February – Mid December

• April - October: 09:30am – 17:00pm 7 days per week
• November, December, February and March: open 7 days 10:30am – 4:00pm
