National Scenic Areas (Scotland)
There are 40 National Scenic Areas in Scotland, covering 13% of the country's land area which include spectacular mountain ranges, like the Skye Cuillins, Ben Nevis and Glencoe, island landscapes in the Hebrides and Northern Isles and richly diverse scenery such as in Perthshire, the Scottish Borders, and Dumfries and Galloway. The designation’s purpose is both to identify the finest scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development.
They are broadly equivalent to the Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty found in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Loch Rannoch - Perthshire
Loch Rannoch is a large body of fresh water which is over 9 miles long in a west-east direction. The River Tummel begins at its eastern end. The Tay Forest Park lies along its southern shore. The wild Rannoch Moor extends to the west of the loch and use to be part of the Caledonian Forest that stretched across much of Northern Scotland.
