Allt na Bogair is a lovely little stream in the Black Wood of Rannoch. A waymarked circular trail through the woods shadows the stream for much of its eastern leg and there are many pretty little spots for a picnic. The Black Wood contains some of the largest areas of ancient Scots pines in the country and is a glorious place for a walk.

A pair of small lochs well within the Black Wood of Rannoch. Accessible on foot or by bike along the forest trails from Loch Rannoch’s southern shore. They are beautiful and wild places for a break or make a great short run to visit.

The waterfall produced as the Allt Mor burn spills down Meall Dubh is great. The crag is steppy and the pool below is very scenic. The waterfall is particularly good after snow melt or heavy rain.
