Loch Leven (Highlands)

There are nine small islands, some rocky and covered with heather and some just smooth green grass, near the western end of the loch.

The island burial place was also shared by the Camerons of Callart, which is on the north shore of the loch, the Stewarts of Ballachulish and Appin and other local families.

[5] The village of Kinlochleven at the head of the loch was established when the aluminium smelter was built there during the first decade of the twentieth century.

[6] The road on the north of the loch continues on to Fort William (Scottish Gaelic: An Gearasdan Inbhir Lochaidh),[7] and was built in 1927.

[citation needed] For many years the Ballachulish Ferry plied the route across the mouth of the loch, providing a key link on the A82 between Glasgow and Fort William.
