Geal Charn
Beyond
Schiehallion, to the west, is Geal Charn, 2,593 feet., which rises
at the head of Gleann Mor. From the south shores of Loch Rannoch,
on the edge of the Black Wood of Rannoch, where the native Caledonian
pine is still to be seen growing, a path leads over the hills
giving access to Glen Lyon. Beyond the reservoir, to the east
of the village, a road diverges northwards, climbing to over 1,000
ft., and later descending through Glen Erochy to reach Struan
in Glen Garry.
Another
road climbs steeply on to the moors to the south-east of Kinloch
Rannoch, and after passing the ruined St. Blane's Chapel at Lassintullich,
goes close to the lower slopes of Schiehallion on the way to the
little Loch Kinardochy
near White Bridge.
