Dumbuck Hill

Dumbuck Hill, known simply as Dumbuck, is a prominent landmark in Dumbarton, lying at the eastern end of the Long Crags (Lang Craigs) part of the Kilpatrick Hills, which flank the town to the northeast.

When I was young the hill looked quite different from how it does now. It was extensively quarried as I was growing up and now has more the appearance of a decayed tooth when seen from the town.

Dumbuck Hill from old railway line. (LMS? I couldn’t find a clear map of the old rail system. It was scrapped in the Beeching cuts, though the other line through the town [LNER?] was retained.)
