Kinloch Rannoch is a small settlement located in a remote area at the end of Loch Rannoch in Perthshire. It is about 18 miles west of Pitlochry. The community owes its beginnings to the end of the Rebellion of 1745 when the Redcoats built roads around the side of Schiehallion from the Tummel Bridge. The original intention was for the village to be a retirement area for the soldiers. However, the quiet farming life was not for the soldiers. The result was that the people who lived here were given leases on the land so they could own their own land. The history of Kinloch Rannoch goes back a lot farther than 1745, as there is evidence of habitation here as early as 500 A.D. St. Blane reported people living here when he arrived in the area. Many other missionaries followed and helped to convert the people to Christianity.
