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 times past, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, then the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh in between 1222 and 1975. Standing over the town is Dumbarton Castle, set atop Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised primarily for its substantial role in the War of Independence by being the jail 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 preventing such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale during the 2nd World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being greatly impacted. Decoy lights were frequently positioned on the Kilpatrick hills above the town and on storage tanks in the effort to simulate those of the shipyards and to bamboozle the bombers, which had a decent degree of success. Though Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the decline of these markets in the 20th century has actually indicated 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 many performances.
