Dumbarton Castle overlooks the Scottish town of Dumbarton and the River Clyde in Dumbartonshire, Scotland, and sits on a plug of volcanic basalt known as Dumbarton Rock. It has the longest recorded history of any stronghold in Scotland. From the fifth century until the ninth, the castle was the centre of the independent Brythonic Kingdom of Strathclyde. In medieval Scotland, Dumbarton was an important royal castle; it sheltered David II and his young wife, Joan of The Tower after the Scottish defeat at Halidon Hill in 1333.
