Just a short drive away is the town of Kinross and Loch Leven – both excellent places for a day trip. Surrounded by hills, Kinross is located in a stunning setting along Perthshire’s southern border. Close by is a local nature reserve which is home to a high concentration of breeding ducks, migratory ducks, geese and swans which visit every autumn and winter. Loch Leven itself is also famous for its bird watching and fishing opportunities. The ruined 14th Century Loch Leven Castle, open between April and September, is within easy driving distance and is the place that Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in 1567.
