Winter Walks in Rannoch
Mondays
Kinloch Rannoch Village
Join us as we celebrate our new multi-use path as we show you the beauties of Kinloch Rannoch. This circular walk around the village includes the banks of the River Tummel, shores of Loch Rannoch and a delightful low level route across the hill below craggy Craig Varr. As we pass through some fine woodland, not only will we explore the natural features of these paths but we can tell you about the history of this ancient highland village. It is a great way to discover more about the whole area of Rannoch.

George’s soldiers were stationed here after the Battle of Culloden (1746). A walk steeped in history
across open moor land with by beautiful burns with grand views across the loch to the Grampian
hills behind. See Loch Rannoch from a different perspective; look out for moorland birds and perhaps even spot some red deer.
