Highland wildlife, a stunning gorge and loch views

Relax above the shores of Loch Rannoch, or hike up the stunning gorge. Look out for stands of ancient Scots pine, and views over the nearby Black Wood of Rannoch.

Carie is a great place to watch for wildlife. As well as red squirrels, you might see deer and pine martens as you explore the woodland trails.
