Dumbarton West Kirk: detail
See NS3975 : Dumbarton West Kirk for a view of the whole building, and for more information. The detail shown here is not visible in that view from the front; the present picture was taken from the south, from beside the few remaining memorials from the original burial ground.
Dumbarton West Kirk
The present church building opened in 1888, and is the work of Dumbarton's town architect, John McLeod. It replaces William Spence's 1860 church building, which stands immediately to the south of the present church, and which now serves as church halls. The 1860 building, in turn, replaced the original Relief Church at West Bridgend, which was built in 1794, and which stood in the same area. The associated burial ground, now cleared away, also dated from 1794.
