Description

A rather misshapen version of Dumbarton Rock, seen from Kilpatrick, further east up the River Clyde. You can just make out Dumbarton Castle on the top of the rock, with hills to the west behind. The spelling of 'Dumbritton' usually changed to 'Dumbarton' by the 18th century. The 'Dunbarton' form was increasingly used for the county.
