The Loch Rannoch Highland Club
Founded in 1976, the Loch Rannoch Highland Club is one of the oldest private clubs in Scotland. Nestled on the shores of Loch Rannoch, the club offers its members a variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, hunting, and hiking. Founder Frank Chapman bought the Loch Rannoch Hotel in 1974 and soon transformed the run down 2 star hotel to an upmarket tourist destination that employed 100 people and was served by a private helicopter. It was here that he kicked off the timeshare craze by offering year-round multi-ownership in newly constructed lodges, which were opened in 1976 by Scotland’s minister for tourism Alan Deveraux.
Situated in the Scottish Highlands, the Loch Rannoch Highland Club is a modern take on the 70-year-old timeshare concept.

Uniquely run by its members, they will reap the benefits for years to come. That’s why they aim to ensure these benefits are the best they can be.
