  Alexandria, the Town in Scotland, UK from the Local Burns Club
The Vale of Leven was formed by the river Leven on its short, swift course from Loch Lomond to the Clyde.
These words from Donald McLeod's, "Dumbarton, Vale of Leven and Loch Lomond" tell of the many processes involved in the textile industry, which contributed greatly in the transformation of the Vale from a rural, farming community to one that was highly industrialised.
The Vale went on to win the cup again in 1878 and 1879 and were beaten finalists in 1883 (by Dumbarton), in 1884 (by Queen's Park), in 1885 (by Renton) and in 1890 (by Queen 's Park).

 Turkey Red, History
By 1728 Walter Stirling and Archibald Buchannan had established the Dalquhurn Bleaching Co which with government subsidy and had extended the bleachfields - a mass of narrow canals of water, and beach hedges for shelter - to more than twelve acres.
For the many people in the Vale of Leven, Scotland, born after the last of the Vale textile works closed in 1960, it may be difficult to visualise the quiet stretch of the river from Balloch to Renton as one of the world's leading produces of bleached, dyed and printed cloth.
It is certain however that without more than 250 years of continuous textile processing on the Leven the urbanised, industrialised communities which make up the Vale of Leven, would not be there today.
