When is the best time to visit Kinloch Rannoch?

Perthshire’s summer crowds may be less noticeable in off-the-beaten-path villages like Kinloch Rannoch. Still, popular routes like Schiehallion will mean the roads and tracks in the area will be busier. Visiting in September and October may mean having the open country more to yourself. In May, a 130-km cycling event, Etape Caledonia, passes along the Loch Rannoch road. Weather in the remote Rannoch region can change abruptly, and it’s important to plan your excursions accordingly.
