From the Wikipedia article
Kinloch Rannoch (; Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Loch Raineach) is a village in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, at the eastern end of Loch Rannoch, 18 miles (29 km) west of Pitlochry, on the banks of the River Tummel. The village is a tourist and outdoor pursuits centre. It has a small population and is fairly remote. The name of the village, Kinloch Rannoch, or rather Ceann Loch means 'end' of the loch.

On the road to Rannoch Station is the church of A. E. Robertson at Braes of Rannoch.
