Geal Charn
Beyond
Schiehallion, to the west, is Geal Charn, 2,593 ft., which rises
at the head of Gleann Mor. From the south shores of Loch Rannoch,
on the edge of the Black Wood of Rannoch, where the native Caledonian
pine is still to be seen growing, a path leads over the hills
giving access to Glen Lyon. Beyond the reservoir, to the east
of the village, a road diverges northwards, climbing to over 1,000
ft., and later descending through Glen Erochy to reach Struan
in Glen Garry. Another road climbs steeply on to the moors to
the south-east of Kinloch Rannoch, and after passing the ruined
St. Blane's Chapel at Lassintullich, goes close to the lower slopes
of Schiehallion on the way to the little Loch
Kinardochy near White Bridge.
