High Street, Dumbarton, in 1961 

I worked in ballentines whisky distillery in the 60’s filling the little minitures! Great times great memories great friends!🇬🇧😊

Thanks for that. I left High Street in 1967 to go to NZ. Great to drive down the old road right past where I lived.

What a great window into the past. When I was growing up outside Helensburgh in the sixties-seventies, Dumbarton was still the place you went when you needed something that you couldn't get in town. It's unfortunately, a shadow of its past now how many of you locals remember the smell of the mash tuns coming from Ballantine's?

Lovely to see Dumbarton as it was, that was how my mum described it when she was growing up there on Cardross Road.

That brought back a few memories, used to walk that road home from my Granny's house ( Church St ) to Westbridge End

Loved this n my mother will adore old DUMBARTON so this will bring good memories back 🌟😘😘😘

At the start of the film, to the right just out of the picture was where I was born and lived until I was ten years old, in Strathleven Place. Memories.

Just as I remember it!

That's the Dumbarton I remember, happy days!

My home town filmed in my birth year.

Oh my goodness,...Dumbarton,....I spend my good time in end of 80th there,...street seems golden age,...?

I started to go to Dumbarton I was 11 yrs old (1968) my summer holiday stayed with my Aunt in Bellsmyre love to go into the precient to have maccarrone cheese

It looks really beautiful like you can tell that life once lived there. Such a beautiful place in time.

I was born in nearby Alexandria and used to go to the baths in Dumbarton..

Dumbarton before it was wrecked....... RIP.

i go shopping there o-o it lives right out of my house xD

So nice to see x

A beautiful town gone to waste

Great film. Left here when I was 8 in 1962. However year is wrong. It must be at least 1963 as there is a Mark 3 Ford Zephyr which didn't come out till late 1962. Miss all my old schoolmates at Dalreoch Primary in Castle hill.

My mother worked at Galbraith while in school, around early 1930’s. Does anyone know where it was located?

isn´t it Jackie Syewart birthplace?

Anyone know why the bit where the Artizan Centre on the High Street used to be called 'The Vinnel?' Not sure of the spelling.

🎧💻👏Dumbarton 1961 🖒

These days the high street is a disgrace

I'm sure it was later than 1961?

What about Mary Queen of Scots at the castles?????? Please tell me !!!!!!

that junction is still dodgy today

1961 ? You sure.
