Dumbarton Rock





















A collection of poscards and some old pictures of the rivers most famous landmark .

  And Dumbarton Rock to ev'ry Jean and Jock,
Extends a welcome that is high and wide:
Seems to know that they are on their homeward way
To hear the song of the Clyde.

Renfrew








Renfrew 5 Jan 2014 another high tide combined with torrential rain threatens to flood the area; fortunately the council workers who were on standby with sandbags were not required.
