Home to some of the most startlingly beautiful scenery in Scotland, Loch Leven in Kinross-shire is the kind of place you have to stick around for dawn, noon, afternoon, and evening in order to get a full perception of all its moods and faces.
Historically this loch was the prison of Mary Queen of Scots, and in the 1830s when the loch was partially drained a relic of hers was found--"a handsome sceptre, apparently of cane, hilted with ivory, and mounted with silver, upon which latter were the letters of the words, "Mary, Queen of Scots," are almost wholly legible."
Loch Watten in Caithness is regarded as "The Leven of the North" by many anglers.

Hi Abby - the bottom four pictures are of a different Loch Leven from the one in Kinross-shire you are describing. They are of the Loch Leven which is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland near Fort William.
