Local area guide
Skip hire in Kinross
Kinross is a small town in Perth and Kinross, sitting on the western shore of Loch Leven around 17 miles south of Perth, with a population of around 5,000. It was the county town of Kinross-shire, the second smallest county in Scotland, and it grew as a market centre and later a linen and woollen town, with cashmere and tartan production continuing into the twentieth century.
Loch Leven defines the town. The loch is the largest lowland freshwater loch in Scotland and a National Nature Reserve of international importance for wildfowl — tens of thousands of pink-footed geese arrive each autumn, and the Loch Leven Heritage Trail, a 13-mile path around the shore completed in 2014, has become one of the most popular walking and cycling routes in central Scotland. The loch is also famous for its brown trout, a distinct strain exported to stock waters worldwide.
On an island in the loch stands Loch Leven Castle, a fourteenth-century tower where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in 1567 after her surrender at Carberry Hill. Forced to abdicate in favour of her infant son, she miscarried twins there and then made one of the most celebrated escapes in Scottish history in May 1568, smuggled out by boat by the young Willie Douglas, who had stolen the castle keys. The castle is reached by ferry in summer.
Kinross House, built between 1686 and 1693 by Sir William Bruce for himself, is regarded as the first great Palladian house in Scotland and one of the finest classical houses in the country — Daniel Defoe called it the most beautiful and regular piece of architecture in all Scotland. Its formal gardens are aligned on the castle across the water. Kinross also hosted T in the Park, Scotland's largest music festival, at Balado from 1997 to 2014.
The town sits immediately off the M90 between Edinburgh and Perth, with Edinburgh around 40 minutes south and Perth 20 minutes north; Kinross lost its railway in 1970, and Cowdenbeath and Perth are the nearest stations. Housing ranges from Georgian and Victorian stone property along the High Street — much of the centre a conservation area with a substantial number of listed buildings — to interwar and post-war housing and extensive modern development, as Kinross has grown considerably as a commuter town for both Edinburgh and Perth.
