River Leven, Dunbartonshire
- River Leven, Dunbartonshire
The River Leven ("Uisge Leamhna" in Gaelic) is a stretch of water in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, flowing from Loch Lomond in the North to the River Clyde in the South. The total length of the river is approximately six miles and 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. Dumbarton Castle sits at the confluence of the river with the Clyde. The Leven is a relatively short river but is the second fastest flowing river in Scotland after the River Spey.Fact|date=September 2007
There is a towpath running alongside the river. It is crossed by nine bridges and two weirs.
