Old travel Blog photograph of Highland Cows by Loch Leven, a sea loch, on the west coast of the Highlands of Scotland. Loch Leven extends 8 3⁄4 miles, varying in width between 220 yards and just over 1 mile. It opens onto Camus a' Chois at North Ballachulish, part of Loch Linnhe at its western end. There are nine small islands, some rocky and covered with heather and some just smooth green grass, near the western end of the loch. The village of Glencoe, Scottish Gaelic: A' Charnaich, lies on its southern shore. The burial place of the MacDonald clan of Glencoe lies on an island, Eilean Munde, St.Munda's or St Munn's or Saint Fintan Munnu's Island, opposite the village. The island burial place was also shared by the Camerons of Callart, on the north shore of the loch, the Stewarts of Ballachulish and Appin and other local families.
