River Leven, Fife

River Leven, Fife

The River Leven is a river in Fife in Scotland. It flows from Loch Leven into the Firth of Forth at the town of Leven. The river is home to brown trout and hosts a run of sea-trout and salmon. The estuary has bass and mullet.

In previous centuries its water was used to power linen mills on its banks, particularly near Markinch, as well as three paper mills: Smith Anderson in Leslie and Tullis Russell and John Dixon of Markinch.

This is all rubbish - River Leven is not in Fife. It certainly does not run to Leven which is a coastal town in Fife. 2 + 2 = 106
