DunbartonshireFollowing the A82 from Glasgow along the north bank of the River Clyde leads to Dumbarton, the ancient capital of the kingdom of Strathclyde. Sitting on top of a 73m (240 ft) high volcanic outcrop to the south of the town, where the River Leven, which flows from Loch Lomond, joins the River Clyde, is Dumbarton Castle. In 1735 the castle was rebuilt as one of the government's strongholds along the edge of the Highlands - most of the surviving buildings date from that time. |
