Dumbarton

Translating as 'fort of the Britons', Dumbarton is a town in West Dunbartonshire. It is on the north edge of the River Clyde where the River Leven meets the Clyde estuary in Scotland. Historically, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and then the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh in between 1222 and 1975. Dominating the town is Dumbarton Castle, set on top of Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised predominantly for its notable 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 legally protected from any sort of work occurring on the rock, such as preventing such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale during the course of the Second World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being greatly impacted. Decoy lights were usually put on the Kilpatrick hills above the town and on tanks in the attempt to imitate those of the shipyards and to bamboozle the bombing planes, which had a decent amount of success. Despite the fact that Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the drop-off of these industries in the 20th century has actually meant that it is primarily a commuter town for its 20527 residents. 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 selection of local groups, such as the Dumbarton People's Theatre who put on multiple performances.
