Dumbarton Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

Dumbarton Castle is enthroned on the 73m high Dumbarton Rock. In its more than 1500-year history it was the scene of many feuds and skirmishes. Of great strategic importance in the Middle Ages, it always remained a suitable vantage point and place of refuge. David II hid here successfully in 1333-34 and Mary Queen of Scots in 1548 before they could flee to safer climes.

Erskine Ferry Gate

Highlight • Historical Site

Erskine Ferry sailed across the River Clyde from Erskine to Old Kilpatrick. The ferry was also referred to as East Ferry of Erskine as there was another ferry to Dumbarton a few miles down river, known as West Ferry. It is reputed to be the oldest ferry crossing of the Clyde. The crossing was part of the A740 route from Paisley to Old Kilpatrick. It was established in 1777 and replaced by the Erskine Bridge in 1971.
