	Kinloch Rannoch and Rannoch
		Kinloch Rannoch village lies on the River Tummel, at the eastern end of Loch Rannoch in the Breadalbane country of beautiful Highland Perthshire (Area Map).
		To the south-east of Kinloch Rannoch, is Dalchosnie (Map), where English invaders are said to have fought Robert the Bruce in 1306, and farther south extends Glen Sassunn, beyond which rise the peaks of the extensive 3,000 ft Carn Mairg group of mountains.
		To the south-east of Kinloch Rannoch rises the sharp quartzite cone of Schiehallion, 3,547 ft., 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.

	Loch Rannoch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Loch Rannoch is a large body of fresh water in Perthshire, Scotland.
		The wild Rannoch Moor extends to the west of the loch-unfortunatley Rannoch Moor used to be part of the massive Caledonian Pine Forest that stretched across much of Northern Scotland.
		At Loch Rannoch, like most of the rest of Scotland, the deforested hills are not natural and the plantation forest seen in many areas is not of much value for wildlife or helping the damaged ecology.

	Rannoch Moor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rannoch Moor is a large expanse of around 30 square miles (78 km²) of boggy moorland to the west of Loch Rannoch, in the Watsonian Vice County of Mid Perth and the County of Perthshire, in Scotland.
		It is notable for its wildlife, and was frequently visited by Horace Donisthorpe, who collected many unusual species of ants on the moor and surrounding hilly ground.
		When the West Highland Line was built across Rannoch Moor, its builders had to float the tracks on a mattress of tree roots, brushwood and thousands of tons of earth and ashes.

	Clan Gregor - History - The MacGregors of Rannoch
		Rannoch Moor is virtually impassable but there is a railway line that threads across it that stops at Rannoch Station.
		On the south side of the loch is the Blackwood of Rannoch, one of the last remnants of the ancient Caledonian Forest of Scotland, where the Camerons, the MacDougalls and the Robertsons (Clan Donnachaidh) held sway.
		Long before the Proscription was finally lifted in 1774, the robber bands of Rannoch had given up their warlike ways and the former caterans settled down with the MacGregors who had already become law-abiding.

	Rannoch Moor, near Glencoe - an article in the Internet Guide to Scotland
		The Moor of Rannoch is as wild and sombre a stretch of country as any in Scotland, especially when shrouded in mist or lashed by driving rain or snow, a terrifying wilderness for the lonely walker.
		At Rannoch Station and the nearby Moor of Rannoch Hotel a motor road makes its way over rocky moorland landscape, passing at Loch Eigeach, the first of the chain of dams of the Rannoch-Tummel power Scheme, and then running beside the River Gaur as it hurtles along its boulder-strewn course.
		Nearing Kinloch Rannoch, the shapely cone of the mountain called Schiehallion (in Gaelic the meaning is The Fairy Hill of the Caledonians) dominates the views from the village where the Stewarts were the most numerous clan.

	Clans of Rannoch, Clan Robertson
		The Robertsons were the chief clan in Rannoch in the old days, owning much land, including all the south side of the loch, in Gaelic, Slios Garbh, meaning “the Rough Side’.
		Whether this is fact or fiction does not matter; they were both vigorous and tough men and both were to prove it; Bruce as a hunted man suffering extremes of hunger and exhaustion and as a warrior proving his skill and bravery; and Donnachadh showing enterprise and endurance in battle and loyalty to Bruce.
		She was said to have starved her brother to death so that she could ensure the succession and it is a tradition in Rannoch that ‘as often as she went abroad ‘to ride or walk, the crows followed her in great numbers, making a hideous croaking as if upbraiding her guilt’.

	Clans of Rannoch, Clan MacGregor
		For many years now Rannoch’s neighbours had been troubled by attacks from bands of wild caterans and ‘broken men’ operating from Rannoch but now the numbers of such men taking refuge in Rannoch increased by leaps and bounds with the constant hounding of the MacGregors by the Campbells.
		He made his way back to Rannoch in safety from where he was able to begin afresh his career of slaughter and rapine on those who had cheated him of his birth-right, and on others.
		Sometimes it was not Campbells that sought him out, for we find that his near neighbours, the Robertsons and Athollmen in 1531, having suffered from his plundering and violence, joined together and made concerted attacks on the Island fortress and also on their hideouts in the Blackwood, this relic of the Caledonian Forest of prehistory.
