Dumbarton, Scotland - October 2005

Stormclouds gathered upon our arrival for a ten-day stay with our friends John and Peter (the twins). The town of Dumbarton is 4 miles south of Loch Lomond and l5 miles north of Glasgow. The River Leven passes through the centre of the town on it's way from Loch Lomond to the River Clyde.

June and I have stayed here over 30 times and love the hospitality and home from home atmosphere. I always like to wander round the town with my camera and seem to discover something new to photograph on each visit. This time it was the entrance facade to the Old Gaol (Slide 30). The pictures which follow were taken on one of the five first damp wet overcast days.... Yes it can be like that in Scotland.
