The Scots Baronial splendour of Overtoun House on the edge of the Kilpartrick Hills to the west of Glasgow. It was designed by James Smith and was built in the 1860s.

The remains of Carman Hill Fort (probably dating from the iron age some two to three thousand years ago) overlooking the Firth of Clyde from Carman Muir near Renton.
As is typical of iron hill forts, the sites of several other similar hill forts are visible from this location, including Dumbarton Rock, which can be seen in the distance. Incidently, the Dum in Dumbarton comes from dùn, which Gaelic for fort.

A ship passing the remains of the Lang Dyke opposite Dumbarton Rock as it heads down the Clyde from Glasgow and out to sea.
This is impressive bit of engineering was built by John Golborne in the 1770s as part of efforts to create a deep water channel all the up to Glasgow. It still helps keep the channel open to shipping to this day.

Bowling Harbour, at the western end of the Forth and Clyde Canal where it meets the River Clyde near Dumbarton. Its story began with the opening of the canal in 1790 and it has seen a real renaissance in recent times.

Prior to this, ships could only get as far as Port Glasgow before having to be unloaded with their cargo finishing their journey by horse and cart.

The Clyde at Dumbarton Rock, with channel markers showing the position of The Lang Dyke, (lower right to middle left).
Constructed in 1773, The lang Dyke aimed to constrain and speed up the flow of water, and so help deepen the channel by scouring.

Magnificent Dumbarton Castle, built on and around the 240ft high twin-peaked Dumbarton Rock overlooking the River Clyde, a place that may have been fortified since before the Romans left Britain. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dumbarton/dumbartoncastle/index.html

We'd always line up #JellyBabies, one for each rider, on the sunrise side of the #ForthRoadBridge when we crossed it. The first of these photos only has four in it. https://flic.kr/p/ZkPBY

I became a teenager in 1975. I lived my ‘best years’ through the late #70s early #80s when weekends were spent in #discos.
I was born in #Overtoun Maternity, #Dumbarton, Scotland. I migrated to Sydney, Australia in 1988.
Most of my working life has been in IT. Netware in the 90s, Systems Management in the 00s and .Net development in the 10s.
Diverse #music those last listened to: #BelleAndSebastian #Mogwai #Rush and #Genesis (early). #Stereolab #Fluke #Fugazi & many many more.
