Campbell Avenue, DUMBARTON, G82 3PB

The River Leven is to the bottom left, whilst Ardmore Peninsula and the Firth of Clyde can be seen at the top. Taken from a flight which has just left Glasgow for Bristol.

The path branches off from a Image (itself part of an old avenue leading to Image). It branches off at a point lower than the one from which that picture was taken. The path shown here in fact leads to Stuart Road, Fraser Avenue, Campbell Terrace, and other streets joined to the southern half of Campbell Avenue; the title merely refers to the nearest of them.

The view is from just beyond the gates shown in an earlier picture (Image), but the sign in the present picture is new, and does not appear in that earlier view. The avenue leads to Image

The faint path leads down from an Image (in fact, from about the place from which that picture was taken). The 1:25000 map shows the woodland edge that can be seen ahead. See Image for a view from further along the path.

See Image for further details. The present view is in the opposite direction; the picture was taken from near an entrance to the Overtoun Estate (Image).

The path leading off into the distance here is simply a continuation of the path from Overtoun House that was shown here: Image The two photos were taken from the same place, but looking in opposite directions. The path shown here forms the downhill leg of both "The Crags Circular Path" and "Overtoun House Circular Path". The course of the footpath can be followed on the map; it emerges at a stone gateway beside the busy A82: Image That exit is located between the council offices (Image) and the police headquarters (Image).

Click on the end-note title for other pictures, including views of the building when it was still under construction. The present photograph is intended to complete that sequence: construction work had ended, and the building was in use.

The view is similar to Image, taken earlier in the year (though a different year); note the large Butterbur leaves to the right of the path.
