A cross country linear walk from Glen Lyon to the shores of Loch Rannoch, following the old coffin route once used by members of Clan MacGregor living in the Rannoch and Glen Orchy areas. Begin at Innerwick in Glen Lyon where there is a car park and picnic area – GR 587 475 – and follow the path upwards to the top of the pass before descending to Carie on the loch shore. The latter stages of the route are through the pine woods of Rannoch Forest and the burn known as the Allt na Bogair tumbles gently near to the path. Picnic essential.
