Rannoch Moor

Rannoch Moor

It's been said that the mood of the Scottish landscape depends on the weather more than anywhere else on Earth. And Rannoch Moor is probably the most extreme example of that.

Most people first see Rannoch Moor when driving north from Bridge of Orchy. Near Achallader the main road and the railway line diverge and the road makes a sweeping climb up to the Rannoch Moor plateau. What you find there can be a glory of heather and lochan surrounded by distant mountains.

Or it can be a grey cloud-shrouded landscape through which you catch occasional glimpses of an other-worldly landscape. For more information and photographs, see the Rannoch Moor Feature Page.
