"When the Scots became possessed of the important stronghold at the junction of the Leven with the Clyde, the old name of Caer Alcluid
seems gradually to have given way to that of Dunbritton, or Fort of the Britons, which appellation, by an easy transition, has in modern
times been converted into the more euphonious but less suggestive name of Dunbarton; and last of all to Dumbarton, by which
name the Castle, Town and County, are now generally distinguished. - About the year 1221, Alexander II granted a charter erecting
Dumbarton into a royal burgh," (This Charter was confirmed and extended by James VI in 1609.) and bestowed on her freemen
and their heirs for ever certain lands and rents, and all the privileges whatsoever known to pertain to any royal burgh in Scot-
land. - About the year 1425 one branch of the house of Albany, young James Stewart, or Big James collected a band of
retainers in the neighbourhood of Dumbarton, and assisted by his father's Chaplain, Finlay, Bishop of Lismore, attacked the burgh
with a fury which nothing could resist; the town was sacked and burnt to the ground, and the King's uncle Sir John Stewart
of Dundonald, or the Red Stewart, was slain by the maurauders. - During the war carried on by Edward IV against Scotland
the preceding year (1481) the English fleet advanced up the Frith of Clyde to Dumbarton, and laid siege to the Castle, but after
a brave and lengthed defence, directed by the celebrated naval commander, Andrew Wood of Leith, the enemy were forced to
retire without having gained anything by the attempt". - (Irving's History of Dumbarton.)
"Dumbarton must have been one of the earliest Christian settlements in Scotland; but all that is known of the constitution of its Church during
the existence of the Kingdom of Strathcluyd, of which it was the capital, is an intimation of a bishopric and bishop taking their
style from it in the sixth Century. The annals of Ulster record the death of Cathal Macfergus, bishop of Alcluyd in 554 -
The town of Dumbarton, the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Strathcluyd, is one of the oldest towns of which we have
authentic historical record, whose site can now be identified. In 657 died Guivet, king of Alcluoith. In 693 Donald McAlpin,
king of Alcloith died. In 721, Bile McElpin, king of Alocluith. In 731, the venerable Bede describes Alcluith as the capital of the
Britons of that district, (civitas Britonum munitissima.) In 756, Eadberht and Unst King of the Picts led an army against
the city of Alcluith, and there imposed terms of submission on the Britons. In 779 is recorded the burning of Alucloith;"

"and in 869, and the following year, it was besieged and demolished by the northern pagans. In 974 Dunwallon,
the King of Strathcluyd went to Rome. We hear no more of these sovereigns or their kingdom. The ancient town assuredly grew
up around the Castle; but the neighbouring and dependent port has drawn the buildings of the modern burgh in that direction.
Even before the Castle was reserved to the Crown by Alexander II, he had conferred the privileges of a royal burgh upon
Dumbarton, which brought it into collision with the bishops' burgh of Glasgow. Alexander III and David II renewed those
privileges, and they were confirmed and extended by James VI in 1609, and ratified by Parliament in 1612". -
(Origines Par. [Parochiales] Scotiae.)
"The ancient name of the parish was Dun Britton, a Gaelic compound signifying the fortification of the Brittons;
whence it appears that the Castle has given name to the parish. The Castle is situated on a most remarkable bitopped
insulated rocky hill at the junction of the Clyde and the Leven. The parish lies in the county of Dunbarton, is the seat
of a presbytery, and belongs to the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr. (Old Stat Act. [Statistical Account])
"Dumbarton, a royal burgh and the Capital of Dumbartonshire, is situated on a low flat piece of ground on the
coast of the frith of Clyde, at the mouth of the small river Leven; 15 miles north west of Glasgow and 57 west of Edinburgh,
in north latitude 55°,,57' and west longitude 4°,,35'. The original name of Dumbarton appears to have been
Alcluid or Alcluyth, that is the rock upon the Clyde; and under this appellation it was in the time of the venerable
Bede the capital of the kingdom of Strathclyde. Before this time, however, the site was occupied as a Roman naval
station, under the name of Theodosia; and it appears not improbable that the rock was occupied by a Roman fort,
and that the wall of Antoninus terminated at this point. Dumbarton was at a much later period the chief town of the
Earldom of Lennox. About the beginning of the 13th Century it was resigned by Earl Maldwyn into the hands of
Alexander II [continued on page 25] |

"Alexander II, who in 1222, erected it into a free royal burgh with extensive privileges. Additional charters were granted by
succeeding monarchs, all of which were confirmed by James VI in 1609, and ratified by parliament in 1612. This charter grants
or confirms to the burgh considerable property in land and extensive fishings in the Leven and Clyde, it gives the town right to a free
port, in the same manner as Edinburgh has in Leith; and conveys a right to levy customs and dues on all Ships navigating the Clyde
between the mouth of the Kelvin Water, 3 miles below Glasgow, and the head of Loch Long. The rights and privileges of the burgh
were ratified by subsequent acts of parliament in 1641 and 1661. The right granted by the Charter of King James to levy
Customs and duties in the Clyde appears to have been of the most valuable kind. The town of Dumbarton is built principally
on a sort of peninsula, or promontory, on the east bank of the river Leven, a little above the point where the latter joins the Clyde. The
principal street called Main Street, forms a kind of semicircle, nearly concentric with the course of the river, and situated at a
short distance from the water edge. This street is intersected by the Cross-vennel and various other smaller streets. The Church
and public offices are situated in the outer part of the town. The principal manufacture in Dumbarton is that of glass, which,
however, has considerably fallen off within the last few years. By the act 3° and 4° William IV., the number of the Council is fixed
at 15 and consists of a provost, 2 bailies, a treasurer, and 11 councillors. The magistrates exercise the usual civil, and criminal
jurisdiction belonging to royal burghs. There are several printfields, and bleachfields on the banks of the Leven and in the town
of Dumbarton. Before the passing of the Municipal Reform Act, the abuses arising from the mismanagement of the
burgh-funds were very considerable," ("Fullartons Gazetteer,") |
