Kinloch Rannoch ( Scottish Gaelic : Ceann Loch Raineach ) is a village in the Scottish Highlands. It is located in the Council Area Perth and Kinross at the outflow of the River Tummel from Loch Rannoch .
The present-day village is under the direction of Ensign James Small from 1754 according to plan. The village of Kinloch, which had stood in the same place, was demolished for the new building. Army veterans, in particular, were settled in the newly created village of Kinloch Rannoch. Due to the planned layout, Kinloch Rannoch still has a very uniform appearance today.
Today the place is primarily a tourist center. Kinloch Rannoch serves as a base for many visitors to the Highlands for hiking, biking, rafting and fishing trips. The place and especially its surroundings are also very picturesque.
