taken 6 years ago, near to Dumbarton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Castle Hill: the southern side
This Castle Hill is a small knoll, shown from a distance in NS3875 : Castle Hill, that gives the Castlehill area of Dumbarton its name. It stands in the NS3875 : Cunninghame Graham Memorial Park.
Part of NS3875 : Our Lady and St Patrick's High School can be seen indistinctly in the distance. As noted there, the school had only recently relocated from that site.

Castle Hill and Arthur's Seat
There are two small wooded knolls in the NS3875 : Cunninghame Graham Memorial Park, to the west of Castlehill Road in Dumbarton. The first-edition OS map, surveyed in 1860, calls the smaller knoll Arthur's Seat (NS38407590), and the larger one, 100 metres to the east, Castle Hill (NS38507588). Only because of the name and a tradition does the map show an antiquity, "site of Castle", on Castle Hill; there are and were no remains here.
