Kinloch Rannoch is a small village at the Eastern End of Loch Rannoch in the centre of Scotland. 

My Macgregor ancestor, Niel Macgregor (1816 - 1874) (son of Duncan) left Kinloch Rannoch as a teenaged boy in the early 1830s and came to what is now Chippawa, (just above Niagara Falls) Ontario, Canada. 

I am researching the family and am interested in old images of Kinloch Rannoch. 

Early 1900s views, circa 1905 - 1910.

The artist is H. B. Wimbush. The cards are in series 7809 "Bonnie Scotland" - Perthshire. The first two cards show Kinloch Rannoch and the third one shows Tummel Bridge and the hotel (Tummel Bridge being just East of Kinloch Rannoch)
