Kinross is a small market town on the north shore of Loch Leven in the council area of Perth and Kinross in Scotland. It acts as a gateway to the loch's nature reserve and Loch Leven Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned in 1567, and the area is popular with walkers, birdwatchers and those keen on boating or quiet watersports.
Locally the town combines traditional agriculture and tourism with a compact high street and community life, while good road links make it easy to reach Perth and Edinburgh, so it often feels like a convenient base that still retains a relaxed small-town character.
