Rannoch and Tummel is arguably the most beautiful and nature-rich part of Highland Perthshire.

This is a beautiful and scenic environment overlooked by the famous conical peak of Schiehallion, " Mountain of the Fairies", and encompassing gentle Kynachan, the unique Caledonian pine forest of the Black Wood leading to Glen Lyon, with lochs Tummel and Rannoch extending over to the remote Moor of Rannoch, with Glen Coe as a magnificent backdrop.

Truly one of the most historically romantic and evocative areas of Scotland from Bonnie Prince Charles and the Jacobite cause, to the famous Clans who once roamed here, through to today's walkers, adventurers and visitors. Every visitor whatever their interests now wants to experience some of this but especially its peacefulness and tranquillity and unique flora and fauna from ancient oaks and pines to red squirrel, deer, osprey and soaring eagle.

Give yourself time to explore: from Queens View you follow the road above the north shore of Loch Tummel experiencing classic views west until you reach Tummel Bridge with its ancient Wade bridge over a flowing, rock strewn River Tummel.

From there you travel past meadows, birch and pine woods to Kinloch Rannoch, an attractive village with a general store, hotels, churches and pretty 19th century stone buildings around a village square. 

Beyond the village, Loch Rannoch runs for over 10 miles to Bridge of Gaur and is home to trout, salmon and the rare arctic charr. The landscape changes as you travel west along the loch from birch and pine woods you come to wilder open country, until at the end of the road you arrive at Rannoch Station with its austere but spectacular Moor of Rannoch spread out beyond. At Rannoch Station you can take a day trip on the West Highland Line to Fort William and Mallaig.
