Rannoch Moor | Scotland in Few Shots

Rannoch Moor is a 50 square mile plateau at height of 1200 ft (360 metres). It is bounded by Loch Rannoch, Lochaber and Argyll & Bute and rim of mountains between 2500 ft and 3500 ft. Terrain is mainly granite. The surface shows the effects of glacial movements resulting in small lakes and rocky knolls of glacial debris. This plateau is where the last ice sheet began to develop about 25,000 years ago and where is finally extinguished about 10,000 years ago.
