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. Traditionally, 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. Looming over the town is Dumbarton Castle, set on top of Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised especially 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 safeguarded from any sort of work occurring on the rock, such as forbiding such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale throughout the 2nd World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being profoundly affected. Decoy lights were often put on the Kilpatrick hills over the town and on tanks in the effort to mimic those of the shipyards and to deceive the bombing planes, which had a fair degree of success. Despite the fact that Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the decrease of these markets in the 20th century has suggested 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 regional groups, such as the Dumbarton People's Theatre who put on several performances.
