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. Historically, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and after that the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975. Standing over the town is Dumbarton Castle, set on top of Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised mainly 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 taking place on the rock, such as prohibiting such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale in the course of the Second World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being profoundly impacted. Decoy lights were commonly placed on the Kilpatrick hills above the town and on storage tanks in the endeavour to mimic those of the shipyards and to outwit the bombing planes, which had a decent degree of success. While Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the drop-off of these markets in the 20th century has meant that it is primarily a commuter town for its 20527 inhabitants. 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 variety of regional groups, such as the Dumbarton People's Theatre who put on a number of performances.
