Information About

Kinross




Kinross is a Burgh in Perth And Kinross , Scotland . It was formerly the county town of Kinross-shire .
Kinross is a fairly small town, with some attractive buildings. The church and churchyard are located down a small wynd overlooking Loch Leven .

The town was originally linked by railway to Perthshire , Fife and Clackmannanshire . However, one by one, these rail links were lost, leaving the town somewhat isolated.

Recently, Kinross has expanded somewhat, especially since the construction of the M90 Motorway , which bypasses the town. The burgh is attractively located on the shores of Loch Leven , and there are boat trips around the Loch and to Loch Leven Castle .

The annual T In The Park music festival is held nearby, at the former Balado airfield.

There are around 4,000-5,000 people living in Kinross.
