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.
