Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Lion's Gate beside the Lionsgate Roundabout This structure stands alone, and bears the inscription "Vale of Leven Industrial Estate"; it stands beside one of the roads leading into that estate.

The gate used to be flanked by two stone lions, but these were taken away in the 1960s. The much more recent Lionsgate Roundabout can also be seen in the photo.

King Robert the Bruce was said to have kept a pet lion somewhere in the vicinity of modern-day Strathleven (which is very close to this spot). The lion was taken to Scone for Robert's coronation; it is mentioned in the exchequer rolls (financial records) for that occasion.
