A unique history
The Islands on Loch Leven are of great interest with Eilean Munde (the Burial Isle) being the largest and quite spectacular. Regularly referred to as the Burial Isle, it was used as a burial site by MacInneses, MacDonalds, Camerons, and Stewarts, as well as others from the Glencoe area. Legend says that Alasdair MacDonald (MacIain of Glencoe) was buried here after the Glencoe massacre of 1692. The Glencoe Heritage Trust currently shares ownership of the island. Its is accessible only by sea.
