Kinloch Rannoch: Guide
Kinloch Rannoch (Scottish Gaelic language|Gaelic: Ceann Loch Raineach) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, which lies at the eastern end of Loch Rannoch, 18 miles (29 km) west of Pitlochry, and sits on the banks of the River Tummel.
The village is a tourist and outdoor pursuits centre.
The name of the village is a slight oddity as Kinloch normally refers to a place at the head of a loch, not the foot.
Near the village is a hill resembling the head, shoulders, and further torso of a man, or so many say, and has therefore been given the name of ‘The Sleeping Giant’. Local myth says that the giant will wake up only when it hears the sounds of its master's flute.
In the centre of the square in Kinloch Rannoch stands a large monument dedicated to the Scottish Gaelic language|Gaelic poet Dugald Buchanan (D'ughall Bochanan) a local schoolmaster there.
The village has a small population and is fairly remote.
