Tour Scotland video shot today of rain clouds over Loch Leven, Scotland. Loch Leven Castle is located here in the centre of the loch, though it was too dark to see it this afternoon from the banks of the loch. A royal stronghold that was granted to the Douglas family in 1390, the castle is first known to have been used as a state prison in 1316 when King Robert the Bruce imprisoned John of Lorne there. The castle’s most famous prisoner was Mary Queen of Scots, imprisoned there from 1567 until her escape in 1568.
