Things to see and do Kinross

A ^14th century tower, surrounded by a ^16th century wall. This tower-house is one of the oldest in Scotland. Robert the Bruce had visited it. Mary Stuart was invited there before being imprisoned in 1567, her host becoming her jailer, then freed by the son of her keeper. She miscarried there, was forced to abdicate in favor of her son James VI. Note the staircase built backwards for the keeper at the time, who was left-handed! Boats leave for the castle every day during the summer.

The Lochleven nature reserve is a place of discovery for everyone. Amateur birdwatchers will find observation points for ospreys in summer, but also many migratory species. The RSPB Visitor Centre provides a lot of information about them. For fishermen, the name of the site will echo the world-famous brown trout of Loch Leven. Hikers will hike the 21 km Loch Leven Heritage Trail or shorter routes.
