Winter Loch Leven And West Lomond Hills Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland sunny Winter 4K travel video of Loch Leven in Perthshire and the West Lomond Hills in Fife on visit to Kinross. Loch Leven, Scottish Gaelic: Loch Lìobhann, is a fresh water loch located immediately to the east of Kinross in the Perth and Kinross council area, central Scotland. There is an all abilities path around the loch, known as the Loch Leven Heritage Trail, which can be accessed from seven different car parks around the loch at Kinross Pier; Kirkgate Park; Burleigh Sands; Loch Leven's Larder; Findatie; RSPB Loch Leven car park; and the car park at the Cashmere Factory. The name Lomond Hills was first recorded Lomondys in 1315, and may derive from a Pictish cognate of Welsh llumon, meaning beacon. The steep sides are volcanic in origin. The Lomond Hills have a rich and varied history. From the Iron Age are the remains of several hill forts. In more recent history, the Lomond Hills were mined for limestone, ore and lead, although there are no longer any working quarries there today. The Lomond Hills lie within the boundaries of Fife Regional Park, renamed the Lomond Hills Regional Park.
