Kinloch Rannoch (/ˌkɪnlɒx ˈrænəx/;[1] Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch Raineach) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, at the eastern end of Loch Rannoch, 18 miles (29 km) west of Pitlochry, on the banks of the River Tummel.[2][3] The village is a tourist and outdoor pursuits centre. It has a small population and is fairly remote.
The name of the village, Kinloch Rannoch, or rather Ceann Loch means 'end' of the loch. It could be used for either end, but is usually used for the end the water flows out of in a fresh water loch such as this, in contrast to a sea loch where the brine hits the land. On the road to Rannoch Station is the church of A. E. Robertson at Braes of Rannoch.
