Scottish SUP Guide - Number Seven - Loch Rannoch

Matt Gambles • 24 March 2020

Loch Rannoch

Beautiful Loch Rannoch is a fairly remote loch but with easy roadside access. It has stunning views looking west into Glencoe and of Schiehallion, 'the fairy mountain'. Kinloch Rannoch is a small village on the eastern shore of the loch, it has several hotels, a cafe and a petrol pump, the 'buzzing' hub of local Rannoch life. You can park right by the waters edge and get straight onto the water here, or carry on driving to the western side of the loch at Rannoch station, just stop and get on where ever looks good.

While on the drive up from the A9 and Pitlochry (its one road in, one road out round here folks), you will pass two other lochs which can be paddled. Loch Tummel and Dunalastair Water. Dunalastair is a good bet on a windy day, when a SUP may be a mission on Loch Rannoch, due to its shallow waters and sheltered location. Loch Tummel has similar stunning views like Rannoch, the easiest access points are to be found at the campsite you pass just after Queens View visitor centre, or take the (even) quieter road along the lochs southern shore, where the Hydro dam and the Sailing club are good bets.
