Kinlochleven
Kinlochleven is a town 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 village was created from two formerly different tiny areas - Kinlochmore to the north of the River Leven in Inverness-shire as well as Kinlochbeg to the south of the Leven in Argyll - following the building and construction of an aluminium smelter as well as connected real estate for its workers. The handling plant was powered by a hydroelectric scheme situated in the hills above, and made Kinlochleven the first village worldwide to have every residence connected to electricity, coining the expression "The Electric Village". In 1991, the village (according to annual census returns) had just over 1000 citizens in some 420 houses. Today it is a noteworthy tourist destination as well as centre for hill quests.
