Find Your Way
To Rannoch.
Everything you need to plan a visit to the CornerStone
By Road
The Journey Is
Part of the Visit.
The CornerStone sits in the heart of Highland Perthshire, in Kinloch Rannoch. For most visitors — particularly those travelling from Perth, Pitlochry, Aberfeldy or the central belt — the most reliable way here is by car, along scenic Highland roads past lochs, forests and mountain views the whole way.
Other Ways to Arrive
Parking &
Public Transport.
CornerStone Parking
On-site parking spaces are available with two accessible parking spaces, along with EV charging facilities.
Village Car Park
Additional parking is available in the village car park, a two-minute walk from the building.
There are three EV charging points within the village.
By Rail
Pitlochry Station (20 miles), Rannoch Station (West Highland Line, 17 miles) or Blair Atholl (East Coast Main Line, 17 miles) — including the Caledonian Sleeper from London. Services are limited, so plan ahead. You'll need to arrange transportation from the train station.
Bus & Taxi
Local taxis can be pre-booked at competitive rates. Bus services run but can be infrequent, depending on season and day of travel.
While You're Here
Some Things Worth
The Detour.
Highland Perthshire rewards a slower pace. Almost everything worth seeing sits within easy reach of the village — hills and ancient woodland, the loch itself, and viewpoints that have been drawing people up this glen for generations. Some of it fills an afternoon, some of it is worth building a weekend around. Here's where we'd point you, and if you want more detail than this, just ask at the bar.
Black Wood of Rannoch
A surviving fragment of Scotland's ancient Caledonian pine forest on the south shore, a few miles from the village. Waymarked trails through old pine and birch, and about as quiet as walking gets.
Schiehallion
One of Scotland's best-known mountains rises just along the glen, and it is a fair day out rather than a casual one. Ask at the bar for routes, maps and an honest word on the weather.
Queen's View
A short drive east and one of the most photographed outlooks in Scotland, looking the length of Loch Tummel with Schiehallion standing off to the side. Visitor centre, car park and an easy walk to the viewpoint itself.
Rannoch Station
West of the village the road runs out at a single platform on the edge of Rannoch Moor, where trains still call on the West Highland Line. It is a strange and lovely place to stand for ten minutes, and the drive out is half the point.
Loch Rannoch
Ten miles of water with a road right round it, and beaches, quiet bays and picnic spots on every side. Fishing and kayaking out on the loch for anyone wanting to get onto the water rather than look at it.
The Clan Trail
Marked stopping points around the loch tell the story of the clans who once lived and fought in this glen. Take it as a slow circular drive, stopping as you go, or pick up a stretch of it on foot.
Any Time of Year

Make the Trip.

Worth the Trip
Make It a
Longer Stay
The CornerStone works just as well as a stop on a day trip as it does the heart of a longer Highland stay. Many visitors combine food, drinks, walks and local attractions into a full day out — and the surrounding scenery and slower pace make an easy case for a weekend break, or longer. Looking for somewhere to stay? Our friends at the Loch Rannoch & Tummel Tourism Association can point you towards local accommodation.
