1 minute (ish) histories: Hermitage Castle This fortress that once guarded the bloodiest valley in Britain. It has been described as sod off in stone, some have stronger words for it.

De Soules was also accused of witchcraft, he died a year later in Dumbarton Castle. Although some say disgruntled locals boiled the wicked

Dumbarton Castle Aka Dùn Breatainn, has the longest recorded history of any stronghold in Scotland. It sits on a volcanic plug of basalt known as Dumbarton Rock & overlooks the town of Dumbarton on the river Clyde. Visit the royal refuge that stood at the heart of an ancient kingdom covering the area now known as Strathclyde. Climb the White Tower Crag for stunning views as far as the peak of Ben Lomond Take in the artillery fortifications to see fine examples of early 18th-century military arch

Dumbarton Castle, perched on a volcanic rock at the confluence of the River Clyde and River Leven, has a history stretching back over 1,500 years. It was once the heart of the ancient Kingdom of Strathclyde and served as a powerful stronghold against Viking and English invasions. The site has witnessed everything from medieval sieges to royal visits, including Mary, Queen of Scots, who stayed there before fleeing to France in 1548. Its strategic position made it a key military site for centuries
