Dunbartonshire 1907 Old Colour Postcard DUMBARTON ROCK

Publisher: The National Series
Sent from: Balham
Stamp: KE7 1/2d
Condition: Used
Background: Dumbarton (Dùn Breatainn in Scottish Gaelic) is a town in Scotland, lying on the north bank of the River Clyde on the confluence of that river with the River Leven. Dumbarton Castle, sitting on top of Dumbarton Rock, dominates the area. Dumbarton functioned as the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Strathclyde, and later as the county town of the traditional county of Dunbartonshire (formerly known as "Dumbartonshire"). The name comes from the Scottish Gaelic meaning "Fort of the Brythons (Britons)". The Brythons themselves knew it as "Alclud" (Ail Chluaidh), the "Rock on the Clyde".
