Prior to the canalisation of the River Leven, and the partial draining of the loch in 1826-36, Loch Leven was considerably larger. The drop in water level by 1.4 m (4 ft 7 in) reduced to the loch to 75% of its former size, and exposed several small islands, as well as greatly increasing the size of the existing ones.[3]There are seven islands on the loch, the largest being St Serf's Inch. Loch Leven Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scotswas imprisoned in 1567, lies on one of these islands, and it can be reached by a ferry operated from Kinross by Historic Environment Scotland during the summer months. It is thought that the loch may be the site of an impact structure formed 270 million years ago.[4]Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) have described Loch Leven as "one of Scotland’s top natural assets", due to its rich ecosystem that supports many different species of plants, insects, fish and birds.[5] It is of particular significance to migrating birds, who use it as a stopover when flying between their breeding and wintering grounds, due its lowland location, shallow nutrient rich waters, large water surface, and islands (which provide safe nesting sites).[6] Loch Leven holds numerous national and international conservation designations, including being a national nature reserve (NNR).
