Boer War Memorial
It has a wreath this year, but, according to local newspaper reports, the memorial had largely gone unnoticed before then, because few people had taken the time to look at it and see what it was. For a similar picture of mine from 2012, see NS3975 : Boer War Memorial.
In the right background, in the present picture, is a corner of NS3975 : Dumbarton Municipal Buildings, undergoing refurbishment. A NS3975 : Statue of Peter Denny can be seen to the right of the memorial, behind some signs.

Dumbarton Municipal Buildings
The buildings were erected on College Park (the former grounds of College Park House). The land was bought from the railway company by Lord Overtoun, and gifted by him to the burgh. The buildings, by James Thomson, were officially opened in 1903. The College Bow – Link – now stands in the grounds, as do a Boer War Memorial – Link – and a statue of Peter Denny – Link
