Lennox (district)
The Lennox ( gd, Leamhnachd, ) is a region of Scotland centred on The Vale of Leven, including its great loch: Loch Lomond.

The surrounding area is ''the field of the smooth stream'' - ''Leamhnachd'' in Gaelic; this was originally anglicised as ''Levenauchen'' / ''Levenachs'', then softened into Levenax / Lennax, and eventually the area was known simply as ''Lennox''. Lennox was not one of the so-called seven ancient Provinces of Scotland, but formed as a province in the Middle Ages.
