Kinnesswood is a small village on the eastern shore of Loch Leven in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, sitting at the foot of Bishop Hill with sweeping views towards the Lomond Hills. It forms part of the old parish of Portmoak and has the neat, stone-built character of a rural Perthshire settlement; the loch and surrounding hills make it a popular base for walkers, birdwatchers and anglers, with easy access to the Loch Leven National Nature Reserve and the nearby RSPB visitor facilities.
Historically the area relied on farming and fishing and carries local literary connections - the 18th-century poet Michael Bruce was born locally - while the wider shore is notable for Loch Leven Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in 1567. Today the village combines a quiet community life with a modest tourism and commuter economy centred on outdoor recreation, wildlife interest and proximity to Kinross and the main road links into central Scotland.
