Castle Levan
Castle Levan is a ruined fifteenth-century tower house at Gourock in Inverclyde, associated with the Mortons of Cardwell who held lands in this part of Renfrewshire throughout the later medieval period. The castle occupies a hillside position with views over the Firth of Clyde toward Dunoon and the Cowal peninsula. The ruins stand to several storeys in places within a residential area on the hillside above Gourock and are accessible to the public, providing a fragment of medieval heritage within the modern suburban landscape. Gourock is a residential town and ferry port at the mouth of the Clyde, providing connections to Dunoon on the Cowal peninsula. The wider Inverclyde area has a strong industrial heritage associated with shipbuilding, sugar refining and maritime trade.
