Loch Rannoch and Glen Lyon National Scenic Area, Protected natural area in Perth and Kinross, Scotland.
The national scenic area spans 48,625 hectares, encompassing Loch Rannoch, Glen Lyon, and the Ben Lawers mountain ranges in central Scotland.
The area received its protected status in 1981 following recommendations from Sir Douglas Ramsay's committee to preserve Scotland's natural landscapes after World War II.
The region contains numerous ancient settlements and shielings throughout the river valleys, reflecting centuries of human habitation in these Highland territories.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty levels, with the B846 road providing access to Rannoch railway station.
The Black Wood of Rannoch preserves a section of ancient Caledonian Forest, supplying Scots pine seeds for regeneration projects across Scotland.
