Castlegreen Street, Dumbarton
The picture was taken from near the junction with Victoria Street, which appears in the foreground. The road receding from the photographer's position is Castlegreen Street.
As shown, for example, on the first-edition OS map (surveyed in 1860), the area known as Castle Green was just to the north of nearby Dumbarton Rock.
The area was long known as Castle Green, in reference to Dumbarton Castle – http://www.geograph.org.uk/article/Dumbarton-Rock-and-Castle – but by 1860, there was a house called Castle Green there, at Image; the house is depicted on the first-edition OS map (the western half of the stand and facilities of the stadium of Image are at about the same spot).
The house was the seat of a branch of the Denny family: see Image Peter Denny of Castlegreen was Provost of Dumbarton from 1834-44, and from 1848-51.
The name Castle Green is considerably older; for example, it is found in an Act of Parliament, passed on the 5th of August, 1704, entitled "Act of dissolution of the feu duties of Bute and other rents allocated to the keeping of the castle of Dumbarton and the constabulary thereof". The act mentions the "ferme and watchmail of Kilpatrick, mains and feu-duties of Cardross, with the castle green". (As an aside, the watchmeal of Kilpatrick – as the term is usually spelled – was an ancient tax originally levied to fund measures to ward off wolves: see Image for references to further information).
