Kinlochleven
Kinlochleven is a village situated in Lochaber, in the Scottish Highlands as well as lies at the eastern end of Loch Leven. To the north exist the Mamores ridge; to the south lie the mountains flanking Glen Coe. The town was created from 2 previously different tiny communities - Kinlochmore to the north of the River Leven in Inverness-shire as well as Kinlochbeg to the south of the Leven in Argyll - adhering to the building of an aluminium smelter and associated housing for its workers. The processing plant was powered by a hydroelectric scheme located in the mountains over, and also made Kinlochleven the first village worldwide to have actually every house connected to electrical energy, coining the phrase "The Electric Village". In 1991, the village (according to annual census returns) had just over 1000 residents in some 420 houses. Today it is a significant traveler destination and also centre for mountain quests.
