From the main pier Kinross, on the shores of Loch Leven, we had to take the boat that took us about 10 minutes to Castle Island, where the amazing remains of Loch Leven. This castle was constructed in the 13th century by King Alexander III on the charge of the family of Douglas. After having an important role in the wars of independence, for its location and remoteness, was in the year 1567 when the castle is most famous as that by order of Queen Elizabeth I is imprisoned in the castle to Queen Mary Queen of Scots.
