Rannoch Moor

From desolate Rannoch Moor, views of the lofty Black Mount, the Glencoe and the Grampian mountains may be obtained. This country has been described in R. L. Stevenson's " Kidnapped. " Northwards from Loch Rannoch, and linked by a tunnel aqueduct, lies the lonely Loch Ericht, overlooked by the fine peak of Ben Alder, 3,757 ft, but not accessible by road except at the far north-east extremity near Dalwhinnie. To the south-east of Kinloch Rannoch rises the sharp quartzite cone of Schiehallion, 3,547 feet., one of the best known landmarks and viewpoints in the Central Highlands, and the focal point in the panorama from the famous Queen's View near Loch Tummel.
