Rannoch Moor is situated on a plateau 300 to 400 metres above sea level and is largely uninhabited. It has - roughly speaking - a triangular shape. The eastern corner of the triangle is marked by the western shore of Loch Rannoch. The southern tip of Rannoch Moor is generally considered to be Loch Tulla. The western corner is at the eastern exit of the Glen Coe valley. The moorland is wholly unsuitable for agriculture and is therefore one of the last landscapes in Scotland barely touched by man.
