Tour Scotland short 4K early Winter travel video clip of sunrise at Loch Leven before Christmas on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Kinross, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. By the meteorological calendar, the first day of Winter is always 1st December in Scotland; ending on 28th of February. The town of Kinross lies at its western end. Loch Leven Castle lies on an island a short way offshore. The castle was the prison of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1567, and it can be reached by ferry, operated from Kinross during the summer months. Loch Leven, Gaelic: Loch Lìobhann, has an all abilities walking 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 loch is a fresh water loch located immediately to the east of the burgh of Kinross. Roughly triangular, the loch is about 3.7 miles at its longest. Prior to the canalisation of the River Leven, and the partial draining of the loch between 1826 and 1836, Loch Leven was considerably larger. It is one of Scotland's top natural assets, due to its rich ecosystem that supports many different species of plants, insects, fish and birds.
