Loch Leven Castle

After Huntingtower Castle we drove to Loch Leven near Kinross.

In the middle of the island is one of the oldest castles in Scotland. It is perhaps most famous for a prisoner once held there - Mary Queen of Scots.

At that time the loch came right up to the castle walls. Since then the loch has been drained so that the castle now stands on a small island.
There is one resident who is quite tame and likes chocolate.

For more on the island, follow the links.
