The present Rannoch Barracks is the Scottish residence of Baron Pearson of Rannoch, a British businessman and the former leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP). Situated on a 6,000-acre (2,400 ha) estate, the shooting lodge is named after the former barracks.
The Barracks are near to the church and deserted hamlet at Braes of Rannoch.
