Looking down the Clyde on a rather wonderful sunny Sunday morning on the beach at Dumbarton Rock to the west of Glasgow.

The Clyde reflected in still waters, with a large hill, consisting of the exposed plug of an extinct volcano, visible in the distance.

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: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/dum

Dumbarton Castle. The image shows a grassy area in the foreground, beyond which is a low stone wall and then a higher stone wall with defences and a right angle facing the viewer. Above that is a stone house with a slate roof and attic windows. Behind that is a large cliff on the right and a smaller rock on the left. There are trees to the left of the walls. The sky is mainly blue.

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: youtube.com/watch?v=KuIheGaiFL

The Kilpatrick hills and Lang Craigs are always worth a visit, even if there’s a persistent drizzle 😅

The rather wonderful Scottish Jacobean style Dumbarton Municipal Buildings. Designed by James Thomson, it was built in 1900.

A parking lot with several cars, including a blue vehicle on the left, a silver SUV in the center labeled with the registration "GL 24 HTA," and a black car on the right. The Europcar signage is visible in the background.A pack of eight Irn-Bru soft drink bottles is shown, each 250ml, placed in the trunk of a car. The background includes a container with fruits and other items.Three people in dark clothing are leaning over a stone railing, gazing at a body of water and a rocky landscape. The scene features a cloudy blue sky and hints of greenery along the cliffs.A hand holds a half of a scotch egg, showing the soft-boiled egg inside, with two people in the background.

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!

#glasgow #dumbarton #architecture #scotsbaronial #overtounhouse #sculpture #stonecarving

A stone plaque with fake screwhead attaching it to the wall. Two of these screw heads have the slots parallel to the ground, while on the other two, the slots are perpendicular to it. This is just plain wong!

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

An unusually shaped window consisting of a diamond with two circles on either side which is surrounded by rope-like moulding.
