Dumbarton Castle Description
Dumbarton Castle perches on a basalt rock on the north bank of the Clyde, facing Port Glasgow. This strategically important stronghold was started in the sixth century and remained in the hands of Britons until the 11th C. In the 13th C it was taken over by the royal family. Only the dungeon and 12th C gateway remain from the medieval edifice. Mary Stuart embarked for France here at the age of five.
