Old Photographs Old Kilpatrick West Dunbartonshire Scotland

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Old Kilpatrick, Scottish Gaelic: Cille Phàdraig meaning Patrick's church, a village in West Dunbartonshire. The Forth and Clyde Canal separates Old Kilpatrick from the north bank of the River Clyde which is just a few metres beyond it to the south. The village is about 3 miles west of Clydebank, on the road west to Dumbarton where some say the river becomes the Firth of Clyde. The Great Western Road runs through the village whose immediate western neighbour, on the road and the canal, is Bowling, where the Forth and Clyde Canal meets the river. The modern A82 road runs to the north, between the village and the foot of the Kilpatrick Hills. In the 19th century it was described as being essentially a single street. It's possible the birthplace of Saint Patrick was near Old Kilpatrick. The western end of the Antonine Wall is at Old Kilpatrick. Kilpatrick railway station serves the village of Old Kilpatrick in the West Dunbartonshire region of Scotland.
