| Kinloch Rannoch and Rannoch (1871 words) |
 | 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. |
 | 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. |
