Loch Leven Castle

Photos from a recent trip to Loch Leven Castle in Fife, Scotland. Built in the 1300s, it was famously used to imprison Mary Queen of Scots in 1567.


The castle can only be reached by boat from the pier in Kinross, which is a 15 minute journey. Upon landing at the pier the journey begins…
