Kinloch Rannoch was an example of a village founded by central government. It was created by the Forfeited Estates Commission, a body set up to administer estates forfeited after the 1745 Rebellion, as a settlement for retired soldiers. The village did not prosper. The houses in this view, photographed in 1934, are of a much later date. Tourism, forestry and hydro-electricity – which were later backed by state funding – were its eventual salvation.
