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 joins the Clyde estuary in Scotland. In the past, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and then the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975. Dominating the town is Dumbarton Castle, located at the top of Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised particularly for its considerable part 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 happening on the rock, such as forbiding such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale in 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 above the town and on reservoirs in the attempt to imitate those of the shipyards and to bamboozle the bombers, which had a fair amount of success. Despite the fact Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the decrease of these markets in the 20th century has actually indicated that it is primarily a commuter town for its 20527 occupants. The town is home to 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 a number of performances.
