Kinross-shire remains the second smallest county of Scotland in both area and population. The shire turns out to be hilly on all of its boundaries. These mountainous borders include the Ochils' Innerdouny Mountain at 1,621 feet and Mellock Mountain at 1,573 feet, the Lomond range's White Craigs at 1,492 feet and Bishop Hill, the Benarty Hill at 1131 feet, and the Cleish Hills' Dumglow Hill at 1,241 feet.
The only streams found in this county are short ones, besides the Leven that empties from Loch Leven. The only lake found in Kinross-shire is Loch Leven. This loch is famed not for beautiful natural characteristics so much as for its associations. The stream along the border with Perthshire, the Devon, is both romantic and beautiful. This stream races through a rocky gorge, making a loud clacking sound as it does. Because of this, the surrounding area is known as the Devil's Mill. Later, the stream flows on beneath the Rumbling Bridge. Not one, but two beautiful bridges exist here. The first is from the year 1713 and is no longer used. The larger and higher one was constructed in the year 1816, and it offers a lovely view of the entire region. The only waterfall in the county is the Caldron Linn, though it is not so spectacular as it once was before a landslide.
