Get Dumbarton pros

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 encounters the Clyde estuary in Scotland. Historically, Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and after that the county town of Dunbartonshire, being a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975. Standing over the town is Dumbarton Castle, situated upon Dumbarton Rock, which has a long history, recognised predominantly for its substantial part 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 lawfully 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 through the Second World War, as the German air force was targeting shipyards, with Clyde and Leven Street being greatly affected. Decoy lights were routinely put on the Kilpatrick hills above the town and on tanks in the effort to imitate those of the shipyards and to deceive the bombing planes, which had a decent degree of success. Even though 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 wide array of local groups, such as the Dumbarton People’s Theatre who put on multiple performances.
