Loch Rannoch Highland Club

“I remember our first visit — one cold, dark November night, the last four hours in the dark. The next morning I said to Ann, “Get out of bed and come and look at this view.” All you could see was Schiehallion and the loch, glistening in the sun. We’d never seen anything like it, and we signed up that same weekend. We were a young couple without much money, and this was our little touch of luxury — and all these years later, it’s still in our hearts.”

“I’ve been coming to Loch Rannoch since the late 1970s, when the lodges were still being built. It reminds me so much of my teens, so it was the place I wanted to be for my 60th — we hired several lodges and had a Burns supper with bagpipes. I love the first sight of the loch as you come in through Kinloch Rannoch, stretching away towards Glencoe. It’s a very special, peaceful place where you can just retreat from life.”

“My parents became members in 1978, and I came up as a child with so many fond memories. I met my husband here in the pub in 2011, and we were married at the Club this year. My mum chose to come here and she’s no longer with us, so there’s always something about being close to her. I can’t thank the Club enough — it’s like a second home.”
