Situation Croiscrag sits majestically on the south shore of Loch Rannoch, in the heart of Highland Perthshire and is surrounded by the remote and romantic splendour of the southern Rannoch mountains.

This is one of the most unspoilt and beautiful places in Europe. Croiscrag is about 28 miles to the west of Pitlochry. From the A9 there is fast access to Perth, Inverness and Edinburgh.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 059, 1922
    MORE SUMMER DAYS ON THE MOUNTAINS.—II. BY WILLIAM BARCLAY, L.D.S. III.—BEINN CREACHAN, BEINN ACHALLADER, BEINN A CHUIRN, BEN VANNOCH. BY nine o'clock next morning (21st June, 1921) we were at the east end of Loch Lyon ; and, standing among the straggling pine-trees at Invermearn, this upper Glen Lyon greatly fascinated us, the loneliness, the absolute stillness, the air of solitude and remoteness being very refreshing. On all sides rose steeply sloping hillsides, grass-covered to their summits, and, though we say it perhaps somewhat selfishly, we were glad that the road ended here and that there was no thoroughfare to the west, glad that there are still some spots left undisturbed to the pedestrian. On the way up the glen we were particularly struck with the fine profile of An Grianan (2,500 feet) above Cashlie (this old farmhouse is now being converted into a shooting lodge) on the one hand, and Meall Ghaordie (3,407 feet) and Creag Laoghain (2,663 feet) on the other, while from Invermearn Beinn Heasgarnich (3,530 feet) rose directly opposite in two long ridges, enclosing in their upper fold the fine north- facing corrie. Our thoughts, however, are not of Heasgarnich to-day, though sixteen years have elapsed since we wandered about its broad summit, but of some Theview-poin Cairngormt from which we can look out oveClubr the wild and dreary moor of Rannoch to the towering mountains of the north and west. At the head of Glen Mearn and only a couple of miles away stands Beinn Creachan (3,540 feet) (pro- nounced Ben a Chrachan) visible from base to summit, one small patch of snow still lingering among the rocks More Summer Days on the Mountains.

  • Ferox Trout Feeding Small Brown Trout, Including Young Ferox Feed on Insects and Other Invertebrates
    Ferox Trout Feeding Small brown trout, including young ferox feed on insects and other invertebrates. Ferox, however, becomes clearly distinguishable from other brown trout, when it reaches a length of about 35 cm and begins to feed mostly on other fish. Although ferox do eat smaller brown trout, studies of their stomach contents have revealed a marked preference for Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) which abound in most of the lochs where ferox occur. Ferox trout with Arctic charr.
