  • Loch Leven Castle is a ruined castle on an island in Loch Leven, in the Perth and Kinross region of Scotland. Possibly built around 1300, the castle saw military action during the Wars of Scottish Independence (1296–1357). In the later 14th century the castle was granted to William Douglas, 1st Earl of Douglas, and remained in Douglas hands for the next 300 years. Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned here in 1567–1568, and forced to abdicate, before escaping with the help of her gaoler's family. In 1588, the Queen's gaoler inherited the title Earl of Morton, and moved away from the castle. It was bought, in 1675, by Sir William Bruce, who used the castle as a focal point in his garden, although it was never again used as a residence. Today, the remains of the castle are protected as a category A listed building, in the care of Historic Scotland. Loch Leven Castle is accessible in summer by the public via a ferry.

  • Lochleven Castle is een veertiende eeuws kasteel op Castle Island in Loch Leven bij Kinross in de Schotse regio Perth and Kinross. Het was hier dat Maria I van Schotland in 1567, in gevangenschap, afstand deed van de Schotse troon ten gunste van haar minderjarige zoon Jacobus VI van Schotland. Het jaar erop ontsnapte ze en vluchtte naar Engeland.
  • O Castelo de Lochleven localiza-se em uma ilha em Loch Leven, na Escócia. Embora remonte a uma fortificação mais antiga, a actual torre foi erguida entre o final do século XIV e o início do século XV. A fortificação manteve-se nas mãos da família Douglas por mais de três séculos. Foi o cenário da passagem mais dramática da vida de Mary Stuart, rainha da Escócia, local onde, em Junho 1567, ela foi aprisionada e forçada a abdicar, antes da sua dramática fuga, um ano mais tarde. O castelo localiza-se dentro de uma Reserva Natural Nacional. É acedido por barco, a partir de Kinross.
