River Leven, Cumbria, in the historic county of Lancashire
River Leven, North Yorkshire
The River Leven is a stretch of water in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, flowing from Loch Lomond in the North to the River Clyde in the South. The Vale of Leven is a collection of communities in the northern part of the river, whilst the town of Dumbarton sits at the southern end. Dumbarton Castle sits at the confluence of the river with the Clyde.
Kinlochleven is a small village tucked away at the head of Loch Leven, a narrow inlet of the sea about 8 miles long that extends eastward from the village of Ballachulish.
Originally the river descended from a chain of three small lochs situated on a vast moorland some 1 000 feet above the village and about 5 miles away.
The factory and village was originally built on the south side of the river and later (after the first world war) eventually spread out onto the north side across the RiverLeven.
