About
About Kinross
Kinross (, Scottish Gaelic: Ceann Rois) is historic market town and burgh in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, Historically the traditional county town of the historic county of Kinross-shire, it as approximately 13 miles (21 kilometres) south of Perth and around 20 miles (32 kilometres) northwest of Edinburgh. It had a population of 5,609 in 2022.
The Lomond Hills are volcanic crags that force the route from the Fife coast (nowadays the M90) to pass this way before crossing the Ochil hills towards Perth. Kinross thus grew up as a market town in a fertile lowland plain. From 1890 it was the county town of the small county of Kinross-shire. In 1927 the county council adopted the sturdy slogan “For all time”, which turned out to mean until 1930 when the county was amalgamated with Perthshire. There isn't a physical tourist information centre, but see Visit Loch Leven online.
