Kinlochleven
Kinlochleven is a village located in Lochaber, in the Scottish Highlands and lies at the eastern end of Loch Leven. To the north exist the Mamores ridge; to the south lie the hills flanking Glen Coe. The town was formed from two formerly different tiny neighborhoods - Kinlochmore to the north of the River Leven in Inverness-shire and also Kinlochbeg to the south of the Leven in Argyll - adhering to the building of an aluminium smelter and associated housing for its employees. The processing plant was powered by a hydroelectric scheme situated in the mountains above, as well as made Kinlochleven the very first village worldwide to have every residence linked to power, coining the expression "The Electric Village". In 1991, the village (according to yearly census returns) had just over 1000 occupants in some 420 homes. Today it is a noteworthy tourist location and centre for hill quests.
