Located south of the town of Dumbarton, the 240ft high twin volcanic plugs of Dumbarton Rock, with the River Clyde on one side and the River Leven curling round on two others, must surely be one of the most ideal natural locations for a fortress. Although the portcullis arch over the guardhouse dates back to the 1300s and the guardhouse itself to 1580, most of the structures on the site today were built between 1670 and 1795. The castle's last military attack came in May 1941 when a German aircraft dropped four bombs on Dumbarton Rock during a raid on the Clyde. Regrettably with 547 steps throughout the castle the property is not suitable for visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility.
