The name of the village, Kinloch Rannoch, or rather Ceann Loch means 'end' of the loch. It could be used for either end, but is usually used for the end the water flows out of in a fresh water loch such as this, in contrast to a sea loch where the brine hits the land. On the road to Rannoch Station is the church of A. E. Robertson at Braes of Rannoch.
