Learan Farm Cottages

Tucked away in the remote Highland Estate of Learan, a cluster of charming holiday cottages awaits on the shores of Loch Rannoch. The stone-built Learan Farm Cottages, converted from original farmsteadings, offer spacious accommodation perfect for large groups of family or friends. Each property boasts a balcony with stunning panoramic views over Loch Rannoch, looking out towards the Black Wood of Rannoch, remnants of the Caledonian Forest, and the mystical Schiehallion (the Fairy Hill of the Caledonians). Loch Rannoch is surrounded by imposing mountains, enchanting forests, and rugged moorland, making it an ideal base for walkers, birdwatchers, photographers, fishermen, and those seeking outdoor adventure and water activities. Discover filming locations from the hit show Outlander in the nearby village of Kinloch Rannoch, where you can find a local shop for your self-catering needs, as well as a welcoming café and pub for a night away from the kitchen.

For a gentle introduction to the area's beauty, explore the Kinloch Rannoch Nature Trail, a two-mile walk complete with a waterfall and woodland paths. For more exploration, the Loch Rannoch Forest Walk offers a scenic two-hour journey through ancient woodlands and along the loch, perfect for a family picnic. History buffs will enjoy a visit to MacGregor’s Cave, where kids can imagine tales of outlaws hiding in the past. For those with a taste for adventure, the Munros, including the majestic Schiehallion Mountain, offer family-friendly hikes with awe-inspiring panoramic views of the local wildlife and idyllic landscape. Rannoch Station, one of the most remote railway stations in the British Isles, is not too far away.

This hidden gem offers an experience surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and rich history. From here, travel to Corrour Station and book a delicious homemade lunch at the remote Corrour Station House restaurant, then refresh with an 8-mile walk around Loch Ossian. Keen anglers may wish to purchase a fishing permit and reel in a brown or rainbow trout. Take a day trip to Fort William, enjoy a film, a spot of lunch, or tackle Ben Nevis. Drive to the charming town of Aberfeldy to explore vibrant local shops and enjoy a bite to eat at delightful cafés or restaurants.
