The Great Moor of Rannoch is a vast plateau of blanket bog, lochans and streams that sits at an altitude of a little over 1000ft. This idyllic and isolated expanse covers approximately 50 square miles and is surrounded by mountains on all sides. You can look at Rannoch Moor as a place of wonder, one of the last really wild places in Scotland. Or you can take Robert Louis Stevenson's view from the novel Kidnapped: 'A wearier looking desert a man never saw.'
