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 joins the Clyde estuary in Scotland. In the past, 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 upon Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised primarily for its significant 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 lawfully preserved from any sort of work happening on the rock, such as prohibiting such activities as rock climbing. Dumbarton was bombed on a large scale through the 2nd World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being profoundly impacted. Decoy lights were often placed on the Kilpatrick hills over the town and on reservoirs in the effort to imitate those of the shipyards and to dupe the bombers, which had a decent amount of success. While Dumbarton was known for its shipbuilding, glassmaking and whisky production, the downturn of these industries in the 20th century has meant that it is predominantly a commuter town for its 20527 inhabitants. 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 wide array of local groups, such as the Dumbarton People’s Theatre who put on various performances.
