Found on the path around Loch Leven. The graves and building are very old looking and with interesting writing and markings . Unfortunately I can’t find out too much information about the building or those who are buried here but very interesting none the less!

This site is closed for now. We’re working hard to gradually reopen the places you love while making sure the experience is safe for everyone. The island fastness of Lochleven is associated with many colourful events and has been visited by countless distinguished personalities during its history. The castle will be forever associated in the memory with another Stewart sovereign, Mary Queen of Scots. She first visited in 1561 as a guest of the owner, Sir William Douglas. But her last stay, in 1567-8, was as his prisoner. It was at Lochleven that she was compelled to abdicate her throne in favour of her infant son, James VI. The castle walls held her for less than a year. In May 1568 she escaped across the loch and before that month was out she was in exile in England. She never saw her native land again. Accessed by small passenger boat. Sailings run on a shuttle basis to and from the island on demand.
I found the whole experience really good. The staff who manned the boats were really friendly and informative. The guide book was reasonably priced and interesting. The castle and island was lovely, easy to get round and well preserved. Definitely worth a visit if you like castles!
