Rannoch Station to Kingshouse

This ‘Road, Rail & Trail’ excursion will see walkers being taken by mini bus to Crianlarich to then catch the train to Rannoch Station.
From Rannoch Station our route heads SE / E across Rannoch Moor, flanked by the Black Corries to the North and Loch Ladden and numerous lochans to the South. Ahead are the classic buttresses of the Buchaille Etive Mor, guiding us across Rannoch Moor, on fairly established tracks, to the Kingshouse Hotel (GR 259/546). We then get our mini-bus for our return trip to Crieff
Please note: The train time (currently 10.21am / 11.08am) may change and if so we’ll update the website details ASAP. Currently the single ticket costs £10 and this is the responsibility of individual walkers to purchase.

Safety notesGear requiredMap of start locationWalk T&Cs

Around 60 % of the walk is on well graded paths with an open moor part midway. The walk is broadly level in terms of ascent / decent but can be wet underfoot and gaiters are recommended. The walk is exposed and walkers ware required to have waterproofs and appropriate footwear, as well as snacks / lunch and water (suggest a min of 1 lt – unless warm, in which case, more should be carried.) Duration c.5 hours.

Gear recommended as following: For Medium, Hard and Extra Hard walks we ask walkers to make sure they have full hillwalking gear, by which we mean definitely the following: Boots, warm clothing, warm/quick drying trousers (not denim jeans), waterproof jacket and over trousers, rucsac, hat, gloves, spare fleece, packed lunch, spare food and drink, small personal first aid kit including any medications, mobile phone, headtorch, and bivvy bag if you have one, and possibly also these other items, depending on personal preference: Gaiters, rucsac cover, walking poles, spare socks, map, compass, GPS, lipsalve, camera.

1. Risk.
The nature of hill walking potentially involves leaders or other participants in providing close assistance to others. For everybody’s protection those people classified as ‘vulnerable adults’ or young people under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an appropriate carer or responsible adult. No special arrangements are available to provide independent supervision for vulnerable people, and the accompanying carer takes full responsibility for them. The carer or parent is best placed to judge the capability of their charges.

2. Children.
We do ask that you only bring children on a walk if you are confident that they will be able to complete it comfortably. At all times, children must be accompanied by an appropriate adult who must take full responsibility for them.

3. Lower age limits.
No children under the age of 16 are allowed on Extra Hard or Hard walks. Children over the age of 12 are permitted on Medium and Easy walks provided that they are accompanied by a responsible adult.

4. Dogs.
In common with other similar events and in consideration for others, dogs are not allowed (guide dogs excepted).

5. Smoking.
Please do not smoke on walks, out of consideration to others.
