The River Leven, Dumbarton, on a late autumn afternoon with Dumbarton Rock in the background.

Dumbarton High Street. In the middle distance is the Glencairn Greit (Great) House, 1623, once home to the Earls of Glencairn and then the Dukes of Argyll. It is flanked on its left by the provincial Art Deco premises of the former Burton's tailors (1937-38).

Artizan Bridge, Dumbarton, carrying the A814 over River Leven.In the distance Ben Lomond and snow-capped Highland peaks beyond.

An unusual combination of sandstone colours on this tenement on Meadowbank Street.

Station Road is on this side, Bankend Road on the other.

At the time of writing (mid-2020), maps show a place of worship (named Dumbarton Baptist Church at larger scales) here; it was located in the low white building seen ahead, but c.2016 the building was sold and became a kitchen showroom.

The A814 diverges from the A82 close to the Dumbuck Quarry near Milton. It heads west through the eastern suburbs of Dumbarton as Glasgow Road.

Extensive redevelopment in the 1970s cut a swathe through the part of Dumbarton that had been called the Artisan (see Image). In the middle of the nineteenth century, there was a building called Artisan House (at Image) set just behind a row of houses called Artisan Place. [Artisan House and Artisan Place (the row of buildings, which included a brass foundry) were both the property of Alexander Denny, who was also the proprietor of the brass foundry.] Glasgow Road also cuts through the southern end of what was (during the First World War) the location of a cattle market, at Image: see Image, taken from further ahead. Some of the Risk Street flats are visible on the other side of the road: Image / Image / Image

The subject is as in Image, but the view is from further ahead. The cattle market mentioned in that item was ahead, just to the left of the road, at the bend, where some trees overhang the pavement.
