Rannoch Station

Situated on the railway line from Glasgow to Fort William, the isolated Rannoch Station lies at the road end, 5 miles (8 km) west of Loch Rannoch in Perth and Kinross. Rannoch Station itself was built c.1890 and at the north end of the platform is the sculpted head of J.H. Renton whose financial support ensured the completion of the West Highland Railway line across Rannoch Moor. The railway line was constructed by 5000 Irish labourers who laid the track on a floating bed of turf, brushwood and ash. To the south is the 208-m (227-yard) Rannoch Viaduct built by Sir Robert McAlpine.
