Inveroran.

Inveroran, was the first stop for Drovers after the bleak Rannoch Moor as they headed south and was a watering place for the thousands of cattle which were driven yearly from the West Highlands and Islands. It is about 9 miles from Tyndrum and about the same from Kingshouse. The poet William Wordsworth visited the hotel with his sister Dorothy in the early 1800's. She described Inveroran as a 'jewel in the desert' and she described the happiness of the scene she found in the kitchen where drovers and their dogs sat eating round an open fire. Red Deer can often be seen around the hotel and in the autumn the roar of rutting stags is heard.

400 metres west of the hotel, beside Drochaid Tolaghan, 'Blackmount Estates' permit camping, though they have a strict no campfire policy.
