Kinross is a burgh in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. It was originally the county town of Kinross-shire. The site of the original parish church and churchyard are located down a small wynd overlooking Loch Leven, a little away from the town.
Kinross was originally linked by railway to Perthshire, Fife and Clackmannanshire until the rail links gradually disappeared. At one time three independent railway companies had their termini at the town. The Fife and Kinross Railway came from the east, the Kinross-shire Railway came from the south and The Devon Valley Railway came from the west. Recently Kinross has expanded considerably, especially since the construction of the M90 motorway - the main north-south artery which bypasses the town. Many people working within a commuting radius of Kinross have settled in the town owing to its convenient central location and excellent local amenities. Loch Leven is also a popular holiday base for tourists, who especially appreciate its proximity to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth and St Andrews (all lying within an hour's drive of Kinross).
The burgh is attractively located on the shores of Loch Leven, and there are boat trips around the loch and to Loch Leven Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots was famously held prisoner in 1567. There are roughly 4000-5000 people living in Kinross. The vast majority of children living in Kinross will attend Kinross High School, with the others also possibly attending local private schools such as Dollar Academy.
Kinross was also the home of Flight Sergeant George Thompson whose posthumous Victoria Cross in 1945 is often cited as the best merited of the entire air war. He was the wireless operator in a Lancaster of No. 9 Squadron on a dawn raid against the Dortmund-Ems Canal when the plane was struck by a salvo of two 88mm shells.
Kinross offers many opportunities for getting out and being active, with countless options for walking and cycling in the local area. A recently developed path called the Loch Leven Trails has been developed which offers 12.5 km of walking and cycling heritage trail around the shoreline of Loch Leven. It begins at RSPB Vane Farm Nature Reserve via Findatie to Kinross Pier/Kirkgate Park. The local leisure centre in Kinross - Loch Leven Leisure also opportunities for all ages and abilities to stay active all year round. Kinross also has 3 amateur football teams.

M71 Passenger Bus Drive To Dunfermline Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland video of the M71 passenger bus drive from just over the Forth Road Bridge near Edinburgh to Dunfermline on ancestry visit to Fife. It is often better to take a bus into Edinburgh on a visit as parking for cars is limited and expensive.
Winter Drive From Cowdenbeath Fife To Kinross Perthshire Scotland
Tour Scotland Winter travel video of a road trip drive, with music, mainly on the B996 road, from the HIgh Street in Cowdenbeath, Fife, to the High Street on ancestry visit to Kinross, Perthshire.The B996 is not the fastest road from this part of into Fife into the Perthshire, but it certainly used to be. Before the construction of the parallel M90 motorway, this was the only serious road north towards Perth. The B996 number has now been used for all the sections of former A90 that weren't candidates for transference to another A road; consequently the road appears and disappears, hidden under a handful of other routes. So all the B996 is doing is joining up the dots; a bit unfair really for a road which was so important for so long.

It has medieval roots, seen in the mazelike Gothic Quarter, but a modernist personality represented by architect Antoni Gaudí’s fantastical Sagrada Família church. Its restaurant scene, anchored by the central Boqueria market, ranges from fine dining to tiny tapas bars.
