Loch Leven (Scottish Gaelic: Loch Lìobhann) is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. Loch Leven extends 8¾ miles (14 km), varying in width between 220 yards (200 m) and just over a mile (1.8 km). It opens onto Camus a'Chois at North Ballachulish, part of Loch Linnhe at its western end. There are nine small islands, some rocky and covered with heather and some just smooth green grass, near the western end of the loch. The village of Glencoe lies on its southern shore. The burial place of the MacDonald clan of Glencoe lies on an island - Eilean Munde Eilean a' Munda, or St Munn's (St Fintan Mundas) Island, opposite the village.
