Strathleven Artizans  aim to promote historical links in the area regarding King Robert the Bruce and King David II.  Other subjects will include Tobias Smollet, the Turkey Red Dye Works and the River Leven which flows through Renton village towards the River Clyde.  Ultimately we wish to rebuild King Robert the Bruce's Manor House at Dalquhurn Point (see ancient map).  Our ambitions are to promote tourism, employment, and let history help develop the future.

The village of Renton lies on the west bank of the River Leven, between Dumbarton and Alexandria, close to Balloch and Loch Lomond. The village and wider district of Strathleven is renowned for its substantial recent history attached to the Turkey Red textile industry.
