IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Lomond Crescent, ALEXANDRIA, G83 0RJ

This road is the western entrance into the Levenvale area. Levenvale and Tullichewan (an area of housing on the other side of Luss Road) together make up much of this grid square, so I have included several representative views (compare Image). Apart from a few exceptions like Lomond Road and Lomond Drive (shown here), Argyll/Argyle Avenue (named after Image), and Burns Street, all of which are on the edges of Levenvale, many of the streets in this area are named after political figures: see Image for several examples.

The street is named after Keir Hardie; compare Image Part of snow-covered Ben Lomond (Image) can be seen in the background.

The picture was taken from a point about 150 metres further north along the road than the viewpoint for Image

As noted in Image, most of the streets in Levenvale are named after political figures. Not far ahead, on the right, is the junction with Image (Keir Hardie); beyond that, the street ends where it meets Image (George Lansbury). See Image for another example. The reference in the name Muir Street is less obvious, but, according to http://www.valeofleven.org.uk/scottishplacenames/Mvale_names2.html (Vale of Leven website) it commemorates Thomas Muir of Huntershill; see that link for details.

Signs welcoming one to Alexandria, wishing one back to Loch Lomond National Park, and directing one to the Loch Lomond Factory Outlets.

The street is named after George Lansbury; compare Image The present picture was taken from the junction with Image Compare the background of Image, which runs parallel to this one.

The mushrooms are in a mycorrhizal association with (that is, they are associated with the roots of) birch trees that stand here beside a path near Lomond Road in Balloch.

The street is named after Friedrich Engels, continuing a political theme that is evident in other street-names nearby: for example, the picture was taken from the junction with Image, and, not far ahead, the street is crossed by Image It ends at Burns Street, which is adjacent and parallel to the railway line at the eastern edge of Levenvale: see Image, which shows Burns Street.

This is Lomond Road. As the map shows, the view is from just east of a roundabout. Work was also taking place in Balloch Road, which is the next road to the north, running parallel to this one.
