Loch Rannoch

A very warm and hearty welcome to Loch Rannoch, and the surrounding area of which makes up Rannoch, and the stunning scenic 'vista’ which is Schiehallion, Queens View, Loch Tummel in Perthshire Scottish Highlands.

Loch Rannoch (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Raineach) is a large body of fresh water in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. The loch is over 9 miles (14 km) long in a west-east direction with an average width of about 1,090 yards (1,000 m). The River Tummel begins at its eastern end. The Tay Forest Park lies along its southern shore. The wild Rannoch Moor extends to the west of the loch and used to be part of the Caledonian Forest that at one time stretched across much of Northern Scotland. This is proven in part by the presence of Scots Pine stumps preserved in the boggy areas of the moor, and pollen records from peat cores.I invite you to share some experiences, taking a journey with me, to explore and discover not only the beauty of Rannoch and Highland Perthshire but also to show you the qualities and fantastic range of visitor attractions you can enjoy whilst you are here.
