New Dumbarton Cemetery: upper car park
For the timing and occasion of the visit, see NS4176 : New Dumbarton Cemetery.

This is the car park at the upper of the two entrances from Garshake Road. The boundary fence alongside that road can be seen at the far left of the picture, and the view direction is downhill, towards the town of Dumbarton and the River Clyde. Few of the town's individual buildings are discernible from here, but a single large brick tower does stand out; it is one of the NS3975 : Remains of Ballantine's Distillery.

See NS4176 : New Dumbarton Cemetery: near the upper entrance for a view of the same part of the cemetery from a different angle, and NS4176 : New Dumbarton Cemetery: path to upper entrance for a path leading here.
New Dumbarton Cemetery

The new cemetery is on the northern side of the upper end of Garshake Road; it is therefore directly uphill from the existing Dumbarton Cemetery – Link – which had been running out of space. Construction of the new cemetery began in July 2014, and would end in 2015; see Link for more details.
