ONE of Scotland’s most famous freshwater lochs could become a protected wild swimming hotspot if a bid by the Scottish Greens to see it given designated bathing water status gets the go-ahead.
Loch Leven in Perth and Kinross is probably most famous for being the site of Mary Queen of Scots's last prison escape, inspiring an eponymous film starring Margot Robbie.
It is also home to NatureScot’s National Nature Reserve, a 13-mile heritage trail, and RSPB reserve which sees upwards of 20,000 visiting pink footed Geese swelling its bird life to around 36,000 every year.
