Dumbarton
Translating as 'fort of the Britons', Dumbarton is a town in West Dunbartonshire. It is on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven encounters the Clyde estuary in Scotland. Traditionally, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and afterwards the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh in between 1222 and 1975. Overlooking the town is Dumbarton Castle, situated upon Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised particularly for its notable role in the War of Independence by being the prison of William Wallace after his capture by the English. As a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Dumbarton Rock is officially preserved from any sort of work occurring on the rock, including forbiding such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale during the course of the 2nd World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being greatly affected. Decoy lights were often put on the Kilpatrick hills over the town and on reservoirs in the attempt to simulate those of the shipyards and to fool the bombing planes, which had a decent amount of success. While Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the decrease of these industries in the 20th century has actually meant that it is primarily a commuter town for its 20527 residents. The town is the home of Dumbarton F.C., playing in the Scottish Professional Football League at Scottish Championship level. The Denny Civic Theatre is used by a number of local groups, such as the Dumbarton People's Theatre who put on many performances.
