In 1837 a large monument, known locally as the Mannie, was erected on Ben Bhraggie near Golspie to commemorate the Duke's life. The existence of this statue has been the subject of some controversy—in 1994, Sandy Lindsay, a former Scottish National Party councillor from Inverness proposed its demolition. He later altered his plan, asking permission from the local council to relocate the statue and replace it with plaques telling the story of the Clearances. Lindsay proposed moving the statue to the grounds of Dunrobin Castle, after the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles declined his offer to take it. There was a failed attempt by vandals to topple the statue in November 2011. A BBC news report of this incident quoted a local person saying that few people wished the statue removed; instead they saw it as an important reminder of history. As of January 2017, however, the statue still stands. There is also a monument to Levenson-Gower in Shropshire. The Lilleshall Monument, built in 1833, is a 70-foot (21 m) high obelisk, a local landmark visible for some distance around which stands on top of Lilleshall Hill. The hill is within the original estates of the Levenson family acquired on the dissolution of Lilleshall Abbey. The mineral wealth they accidentally inherited there, relatively shallow deposits of Iron and coal in the Lillishall, Donnington and Wombridge area, was a source of great wealth to him. Working conditions of the time were primitive with serious occupational injuries and loss of life being common. These people are not commemorated. The family left no significant charitable institutions in the area such as schools, hospitals or almshouses.
