Dalmuir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalmuir is a small town in West Dunbartonshire in Scotland. It is neighboured by areas such as Old Kilpatrick, Mountblow and Clydebank and has a railway station on the North Clyde Line.

The early village was host to Richard Collins' paper mill which opened in 1747 on the banks of the Duntocher Burn. Also, Beardmore's shipbuilding and engineering works attracted a large population to settle in the area.

Now, some of its most well-known areas are Dalmuir Park and the recreational park, referred to locally as the "Reckie", which boasts a handsome, if run down, art deco pavillion. Nearby is the Auchentoshan Distillery, one of the more notable of Scotland's Lowland Distilleries.

The town has two Catholic primary schools, Our Lady of Loretto and St. Stephen's and one non-denominational primary school, Clydemuir Primary. There are also a few pubs, including The Horse and Barge, and The Mountblow.
