Inneravon, a tract of land contiguous to the mouth of the river Avon in Borrowstounness parish, Linlithgowshire. A remarkable bed of oyster and other shells exists beneath a bank, from the seaward side of this tract to the vicinity of Kinneil House, and a Roman station is thought by some antiquaries to have stood here. A castle of Inneravon or Inveravyne, mentioned in the Auchinleck chronicle of James II., is supposed to have occupied the site of the Roman station; and an old ruin which still stands here may have been one of the corner towers of that castle.
