What is recorded here
Leven Castle is a 19th-century craft on Toward Point in the upper Firth of Clyde, recorded in Argyll and Bute. The name suggests a small boat or workshop rather than a grand house, yet it still belongs to the sea and to memory. The exact point is known only within a hundred metres, leaving room for imagination about what it carried, where it sailed, and who lost it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Leven Castle: Toward Point, Upper Firth of Clyde as Craft (19th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
