River Leven, Dunbartonshire

The River Leven (Scottish Gaelic: Uisge Leamhna) is a stretch of water in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, flowing from Loch Lomond in the North to the River Clyde[1] in the South.

It is very popular with salmon and sea trout anglers, trying to catch one of these migratory fish going up to Loch Lomond.

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.

The river includes two large meander bends, at Cordale and Dalquhurn.

The height of the river can vary, sometimes being a good deal higher in winter than summer.
