Description:

The Vale of Leven StoryA privately funded and supported information website which includes a history of the Vale of Leven, its towns and villages and villages on East and West Loch Lomond side.Using this site With the passage of time recent historical information about the Vale of Leven is becoming scarcer. We have decided to try to collect as much of this information as possible while it is still available. We have created this resource for this purpose. As we gather this information we want to make it freely available to Vale people old and new throughout the world. The Internet is the ideal medium and this website is the result.Click image for larger version.OBITUARY Harry Watson Summers The website is a non-profit venture organised by local history enthusiasts, who are seeking your help in gathering as much Vale of Leven information together as possible. Any contributions to the site will be welcomed and since the Internet is a visual medium old pictures are of particular interest. We don't need to keep your pictures. They can be scanned for the website and returned to you unharmed. Even better, scan them yourself and email them to us.Anecdotes about all aspects of life in the Vale are also welcome as are old songs and poems. We also welcome historical material that you have researched yourself. Send us any interesting Vale material that you think may be appropriate. We will probably be able to use it. If you think that pictures or stories of any members of your family, past or present, would be of interest send them to us too.CLICK THESE PANORAMIC IMAGES TO ENLARGEThe above two images show north and south panoramas of the Vale of Leven. These were taken from the hill above Bonhill. You can click these to view an enlarged version in a new window but remember that these are large images.

While geographically speaking they are not part of the Vale of Leven, they are inextricably connected to it.If you are a return visitor to the website we post updates on the news page so you can check there for fresh material. Our contributions page list major contributions of material that we have received and the Sitemap lists all of the pages on the website. We also have a discussion page, where we invite questions and discussions about the Vale of Leven and an ex-pats page although this has been taken over more recently by our Facebook page.The Vale of Leven - Images UsedThe images we have used come from various sources. In some cases their relevance to more than one item means that they have been used in two or more pages of the website. Some of these images are large and in these cases we have made them clickable so that the full detail is available. These are marked accordingly.Vale of Leven MapView a Larger, Interactive Map in a New WindowImage Copyright Notes: In creating this website we have used some images that are assumed to be in the public domain.
