Dumbarton (Dùn Breatainn in Scottish Gaelic) is a burgh in Scotland, lying on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven flows into the Clyde estuary. Dumbarton Castle, sitting on top of Dumbarton Rock, dominates the area. As of 2001 the town had a population of roughly 20,550.
History
Dumbarton functioned as the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Strathclyde, and later as the county town of the county of Dunbartonshire (formerly known as "Dumbartonshire"). The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic meaning "Fort of the Brythons (Britons)". The Britons themselves knew it as "Alclud" (Ail Chluaidh), the "Rock on the Clyde". More on [ Dumbarton ]
