Dumbarton Rock, a twin-peaked outcrop of basalt, was formed 350 million years ago, before becoming a stronghold of the kingdom of Strathclyde. The castle continued to serve as a garrison fortress until the early 19th century, when Dumbarton’s shipyards grew around the rock. The castle now offers commanding views over the surrounding town of Dumbarton.
