4 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. The shores of Loch Rannoch feature a small number of fine lodges and houses but few will rival the outstanding position in which Croiscrag stands, with some 6.5 acres of gardens and grounds and enjoying a wonderful view down the loch. Loch Rannoch is one of Scotland s deepest fresh water lochs. The property falls within an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a National Scenic Area. 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 main line railway and sleeper connection to London at Rannoch Station, is only about 9 miles from the house. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are around 2 hours drive with regular flights to London and many other UK and international destinations. There are local shopping facilities in Kinloch Rannoch including a general store which hosts a newsagent, post office, fresh bakery and fresh butchery. In addition there is a medical practice, garage, café and hotel. More extensive facilities are available in Pitlochry and Aberfeldy. Directions From Perth take the A9 northward. A few miles north of Pitlochry turn left, following signs for the B8019 to Tummel Bridge and Kinloch Rannoch and crossing the Linn of Tummel. The quiet country road winds through woodlands and then along the north shore of Loch Tummel to Queens View and on to Tummel Bridge. From there, take the B846 west to Kinloch Rannoch and then turn left following signs for the South Loch Rannoch Road. Cross the bridge, over the Tummel at the head of Loch Rannoch, then take the right fork and follow the South Loch Rannoch Road (an ancient road to the Isles) along the southern shore of the loch. After approximately 7.5 miles, the cream gates to Croiscrag will be seen on the right hand side.

6 Description Croiscrag is a substantial and attractively built highland home. Built of stone, under a slate roof, it enjoys superb views up and down Loch Rannoch. It is rare to find a property with such excellent loch frontage, particularly in a situation where the public road does not run between the house and the shore. The house sits in ancient woodland and is surrounded by attractive gardens comprising of sweeping lawns, well laid borders and specimen shrubs. The property has been a wonderful family home for the owners for almost 30 years and it and the surrounding area offers a whole host of pursuits including fishing, sailing and hill walking. Red deer stalking, salmon fishing and pheasant shooting can be taken locally. Accommodation The accommodation at Croiscrag is well laid out with a good flow of public rooms and bedrooms, most of which are placed to take advantage of the exceptional views. It has the most welcoming feel and yet the room sizes are generous with good proportions and fine period detail. There are 5 main reception rooms including drawing room, dining room, sitting room, library and games room. All these rooms have either open fires or wood burning stoves and mainly have easterly views over the gardens. There is also a small study. The kitchen is fitted with base and wall units with a Range style cooker and space for a breakfast table. On the first floor there are 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 separate wcs.

10 The Cottages Attached to the main house are three cottages which have been successfully let for self-catering holidays.
