A mere 30 mins from Glasgow, you will find Dumbarton Castle, which sits high on a volcanic plug overlooking the River Clyde. There are 500 steps to the top, but the views are well worth the climb! Nearby, visit the Scottish Maritime Museum where you’ll find the world’s first commercial ship model experiment tank. You can also uncover more about the area’s shipbuilding heritage and browse the displays that will take you back in time to the days of Victorian ship design and more.
