It is the traditional county town of the historic county of Kinross-shire. Location and transportThe site of the original parish church and churchyard are located down a small wynd overlooking Loch Leven, a little away from the town. Kinross was originally linked by railway to Perthshire, Fife and Clackmannanshire until the rail links gradually disappeared. At one time three independent railway companies had their termini at the town. The Fife and Kinross Railway came from the east, the Kinross-shire Railway came from the south and The Devon Valley Railway came from the west. Recently, Kinross has expanded, especially since the construction of the M90 motorway, which is the main north-south artery bypassing the town. Many people working within a commuting radius of Kinross have settled in the town owing to its central location and local amenities. TourismLoch Leven is also a popular holiday base for tourists, especially as it is close to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Perth and St Andrews (all lying within an hour's drive of Kinross). The burgh is located on the shores of Loch Leven, and there are boat trips around the loch and to Loch Leven Castle, where Mary, Queen of Scots was famously held prisoner in 1567. Up to 2014 the annual T in the Park music festival was held nearby, at the former Balado airfield. Balado is also the locale of a now inactive NATO ICBM early warning radar and during the Second World War there was an airstrip and barracks. ClimateAs with most of the British Isles, Kinross has an oceanic climate (Köppen: Cfb). {{Weather box| width = 86% | metric first = yes | single line = yes | location = Kinross (120 m asl, averages 1981–2010) | Jan high C = 5.9 | Feb high C = 6.5 | Mar high C = 8.6 | Apr high C = 11.3 | May high C = 14.6 | Jun high C = 17.2 | Jul high C = 19.3 | Aug high C = 19.0 | Sep high C = 16.1 | Oct high C = 12.2 | Nov high C = 8.6 | Dec high C = 6.0 | year high C = | Jan low C = -0.3 | Feb low C = -0.2 | Mar low C = 1.0 | Apr low C = 2.5 | May low C = 5.0 | Jun low C = 7.9 | Jul low C = 9.7 | Aug low C = 9.3 | Sep low C = 7.2 | Oct low C = 4.5 | Nov low C = 1.8 | Dec low C = -0.4 | year low C = | Jan rain mm = 123.9 | Feb rain mm = 84.3 | Mar rain mm = 89.1 | Apr rain mm = 58.0 | May rain mm = 61.3 | Jun rain mm = 72.8 | Jul rain mm = 69.5 | Aug rain mm = 81.4 | Sep rain mm = 90.5 | Oct rain mm = 116.2 | Nov rain mm = 107.4 | Dec rain mm = 102.2 | year rain mm = | unit rain days = 1 mm | Jan rain days = 16.8 | Feb rain days = 12.8 | Mar rain days = 14.5 | Apr rain days = 10.9 | May rain days = 11.2 | Jun rain days = 12.3 | Jul rain days = 11.6 | Aug rain days = 12.8 | Sep rain days = 12.9 | Oct rain days = 16.1 | Nov rain days = 15.0 | Dec rain days = 15.1 | year rain days = | Jan sun = 33.5 | Feb sun = 70.7 | Mar sun = 110.3 | Apr sun = 149.8 | May sun = 184.7 | Jun sun = 156.1 | Jul sun = 168.1 | Aug sun = 165.3 | Sep sun = 127.4 | Oct sun = 85.4 | Nov sun = 48.6 | Dec sun = 23.2 | year sun = | source = Met Office[2] }} Sport and recreationKinross offers many opportunities for sport and recreation, with many options for walking and cycling in the local area. A recently developed path called the Loch Leven Trails has been developed, which offers 21 km (13 miles) of walking and cycling heritage trail around the shoreline of Loch Leven. It begins at RSPB Vane Farm Nature Reserve via Findatie to Kinross Pier/Kirkgate Park. There is also a leisure centre located in Kinross, called Loch Leven Leisure. Kinross also has three amateur football teams – Kinross AFC who currently play in the Fife Kingdom Caledonian Football League, Fossoway AFC who play in the Fife 1st division and Portmoak AFC who play in the Perthshire 3rd division.
