Magnificent Dumbarton Castle, built on and around the 240ft high twin-peaked Dumbarton Rock overlooking the River Clyde, a place that may have been fortified since before the Romans left Britain. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dumbarton/dumbartoncastle/index.html
Dumbarton Rock, a 330 million year old volcanic plug on the northern edge of the Clyde to the west of Glasgow that is home to Dumbarton Castle. A military stronghold for many centuries, it was to here that Mary, Queen of Scots was heading after her escape from Lochleven Castle in 1568 when she was intercepted by the Earl of Moray and was forced to fight the Battle of Langside (now on the Southside of Glasgow).

Love this mermaid on the beach next to Dumbarton Rock. Made from wrought iron, this rather wonderful artwork was created by local artist Gerry Deeney.

I post this every so often: In the 1992 movie Sneakers they methodical go through the 4 Bridges that cross the San Francisco Bay. They strike each bridge to determine where a character was taken. The bridges were the Golden Gate, The Bay, San Mateo and the Dumbarton. Here are all 4 bridges and 3/4ths are from the air. #Golden Gate #BayBridge #Dumbarton #SanFrancisco #SF #Movie #Sneakers #SanMateo #Bridge #bridges #SFBayArea #landscape #transportation Movie Scene here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuIheGaiFLM

I've been sitting on bottles from Whisky Auctioneer for over six months as the shipping cost per bottle drops significantly as the number of bottles increases. I recently pulled the trigger on shipping and by last week everything had arrived - just in time for me to get sick. I finally opened it all tonight.
I picked up a number of Glenmorangie. The Maltman's Special Reserve 18 year. MH Private Europe 21 Year Cask 9. 1993 Swamp Oak Single Cask. 1991 Mount Everest bottling. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society 125.27 & 125.75. Crom 16 year Westport Warlords & Warriors Edition Thulsa's Choice. And Wilson & Morgan 18 year Westport.
Compass Box also got some love. I picked up Hedonism Maximus - the market release as I already have the LWDW bottling. Two additional bottlings of the standard Hedonism from 2018 & 2019. Canto Cask 17 & 124 - that brings me up to 8 of the 16. The Nectar 10th Anniversary release (I have the 15th). The "Double Single" original Craigellachie Hotel release from 2004. The Peat Monster 2008 bottling. And D is for Demi John.
And then a smattering of others. A Clase Azul Mezcal San Luis Potosi. Amrut Single Malt Rye - the first ever Indian Single Malt Rye. Three Clan Denny Single Grain bottlings - Garnheath 43 year, Invergordon 47 year, and Dumbarton 48 year. Wild Turkey 13 year Distiller's Reserve. Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition - a second bottle as I've shared my first at a few tastings and it is getting low. And, last but not least, a non-auction bottle from Julio's Liquors, Knob Creek Single Barrel Select Rye "Si" for the Loch & Key Whisk(e)y Society.
There were four other bottles, but those are for others.

I love this sculpted plaque, complete with stone screwheads, on James Smith's 1860s Scots Baronial style Overtoun House near Dumbarton. However, the fact that two of the 'screwheads' are at right angles to the other two does rather make my brain itch!

I love the shape of this window on James Smith's 1860s Scots Baronial style Overtoun House near Dumbarton.
