The Scottish town of Kinross - Perth and Kinross is also a burgh.
This town was once the county town for Kinross-shire.
The town of Kinross is actually a reasonably small town and it is home to a number of buildings that are attractive.
The site that was used for the first parish church and also the graveyard are located along a tiny wynd and this overlooks Loch Leven.
The town of Kinross was once linked using railway to Fife, Clackmannanshire and also Fife, however these railway links were broken one by one and the town is now isolated to a certain extent.
Over recent years the town of Kinross has been expanded to a certain extent and the opening of the motorway known as the M90 has helped this as this road bypasses the town.
The burgh of Kinross is attractively situated on the banks of Loch Leven.
There are regular trips by boat around the lock and also to the Castle.
The town of Kinross is home to the annual music festival that is known as T in the Park.
This festival takes place on site of the old Balado airfield.
Balado is also the home to an early warning radar that is now inactive.
This airfield was used during World War Two as barracks and also an airstrip.
The town of Kinross is home to a population of about five thousand.
Most of the children that live within the town attend the local high schools however there are some which attend some of the local private education school, which includes Dollar Academy.
There are a lot of outdoor activities that are available within the town or the surrounding area.
These activities include cycling and walking.
Recently there has been a path developed for people that wish to walk or cycle and this path covers twelve and a half kilometres.
This path is also a heritage trail that goes around Loch Leven.
This path starts at the RSPB Nature Reserve, which is known as Vane Farm.
