Loch Leven, Sea loch in Highland, Scotland

Loch Leven extends 14 kilometers from Ballachulish Bridge to Kinlochleven, featuring mountains and hills along its shores.

The area near Loch Leven witnessed the Glencoe Massacre of 1692, where numerous members of Clan MacDonald lost their lives.

Eilean Munde, an island within Loch Leven, functions as the traditional burial ground for the MacDonald clan and other local families.

The construction of Ballachulish Bridge in 1975 replaced the ferry service and now provides direct access across the narrows of Loch Leven.

The loch's narrows generate tidal streams reaching seven knots during springs, creating specific navigation conditions for maritime traffic.
