Loch Leven Castle, Island castle in Perth and Kinross, Scotland
Lochleven Castle spans across a rectangular courtyard on Castle Island, featuring a tower house and the circular Glassin Tower from the 1500s.
Mary Queen of Scots remained imprisoned at Lochleven Castle from 1567 to 1568, where she signed her abdication before escaping with help.
The castle became a destination for visitors in the 1700s as people traveled to see the location where Mary Queen of Scots was held.
Access to the castle requires a boat journey from Kinross Pier, with services running from April through September between 10 AM and 4:30 PM.
The artificial enlargement of Castle Island in the early 1800s through canalization modified the original medieval layout of the fortress grounds.
