This area was described by Rothschild as 'one of the most remarkable entomological stations in the kingdom' and was also noted for its plants, including bog myrtle. Loch Rannoch falls into two National Scenic Areas (NSAs): Loch Rannoch and Glen Lyon; and Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. The shores around Loch Rannoch are richly wooded with native pine, birch, oak and juniper; while Rannoch Moor is an internationally important blanket bog.
