Duntocher
Duntocher

Duntocher (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Tòchair or Druim Tòchair) is a village in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It has an estimated population of 6,850. The etymology of the name of the village indicates that its name means "the fort on the causeway".Duntocher has effectively become a northern suburb of the nearby town of Clydebank, as have neighbouring Hardgate and Faifley. Duntocher expanded due to housebuilding by Clydebank Burgh Council after the Second World War, although the area was never formally absorbed into the burgh. When burghs were abolished by local government reorganisation in 1975, however, Duntocher was included in the larger Clydebank District, which existed until the creation of West Dunbartonshire in 1997. Further housing was built by the Wimpey firm in the late 1960s and early 1970s, on what had been green belt land. Along with Faifley and Hardgate, Duntocher falls within West Dunbartonshire's Kilpatrick ward with a combined population of 12,719 in 2011.At one time this was the most north westerly point on the Glasgow Corporation Transport tram system, trams operating from here via Hardgate to Clydebank, and at times, on to Partick depot. Duntocher historically had several cotton and corn mills, driven by the Duntocher Burn which is the traditional boundary between Duntocher and neighbouring village Hardgate. The Antonine Wall also runs through the village, and ancient Roman fortifications are still visible in the local Goldenhill Park. Lottery funding is to provide funds for a children's playpark at Goldenhill. Sir George Macdonald wrote about the findings at Duntocher.Duntocher has a Roman Catholic church – St. Mary's, a United Free Church of Scotland – Duntocher West, and a Church of Scotland – Duntocher Trinity. The village also has one Roman Catholic primary school – St Mary's and one non-denominational, Carleith Primary School. The village has a main street (Dumbarton Road) which acts as the main focal point for village activity. The majority of the villages shops and pubs, the cafe and the local churches and village halls are located along or very close to a small stretch of this road The village is at the southern edge of the Kilpatrick Hills.

Drumchapel Amateur F.C.

Drumchapel Amateur Football Club is a football club from the village of Duntocher, near Clydebank in Scotland. Formed in 1950 in the Drumchapel area of the city of Glasgow, they are nicknamed "The Drum". The club presently competes in the Central Scottish Amateur Football League and is viewed as one of the top amateur clubs in the country, winning the Scottish Amateur Cup as recently as 2005.A team with a proud history, they have been the start for many players who would turn professional such as George McLean, Jim Forrest, Alex Willoughby, Alex Ferguson, Walter Smith, David Moyes, Andy Gray, Archie Gemmill, John Wark, Kenny McDowall, Asa Hartford, Eddie McCreadie, John Robertson and Paul Wilson.Club colours were originally green and white hoops; in the late-1980s the club moved on to red and black. The Drum play their home games at Glenhead Park, which is the former home of junior club Duntocher Hibernian. When Duntocher Hibs became defunct Drumchapel moved in, meaning that they no longer play home games in the area that gives them their name. It does mean they have one of the best playing facilities of any amateur team in Scotland. There is also still a youth system in place below the senior team.A portrait of club founder Douglas Smith hangs in the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park, in recognition of his contribution to the club and the development of young footballers. It was unveiled in 2014 by former Drumchapel player Alex Ferguson.

Clyde Waterfront Regeneration
Clyde Waterfront Regeneration

The 20 km long Clyde Waterfront is a section of the River Clyde in Scotland that runs from Glasgow Green in the city's center to Dumbarton on the Firth of Clyde. This is one of Britain's largest urban redevelopment initiatives, with over 200 projects on both banks of the Clyde. [1] Projects are underway all across the Clyde Waterfront neighborhood to change local commerce, housing, tourism, and infrastructure. The planned public and private investment in Clyde Waterfront as of 2008 was pegged at £5–6 billion. [2] The Clyde Waterfront Regeneration project is an ongoing initiative aimed at transforming the waterfront area of Glasgow, Scotland. The project was launched in 2003 and is a long-term effort that involves a range of developments and improvements. Some of the key aspects of the Clyde Waterfront Regeneration project include: New commercial and residential properties: The project has involved the construction of new buildings, including office spaces, residential properties, and hotels. Some notable developments include the Riverside Museum, the Hydro arena, and the Glasgow Science Centre Tower. Public spaces: The project aims to create more public spaces along the waterfront, including parks, walkways, and cycle paths. The Glasgow Harbour development includes a riverside promenade, while the Pacific Quay area features a public plaza and landscaped areas. Infrastructure improvements: The project has also involved significant infrastructure improvements, including the upgrading of roads, bridges, and public transport links. The Clyde Arc, also known as the Squinty Bridge, was built as part of the project and provides a new pedestrian and cycle route across the river.The Clyde Waterfront Regeneration project is a collaboration between Glasgow City Council, Scottish Enterprise, and other partners. It is seen as a key driver of economic growth in the area and has already attracted significant investment from both public and private sectors. As well as supporting inward investment and tourism, the aim of the regeneration of the Clyde is to benefit local communities. It is intended that local people will benefit from the improvements to transport and leisure facilities, shops and businesses, and from new jobs coming into the area. An estimated 50,000 new jobs will be created as businesses relocate in the area and more housing is built. Re-training is vital and a range of support is available locally to make sure residents can exploit the new opportunities as they arise.
