An account of the resource
<p> </p><p><span><span>This trail covers a wide range of history of Dumbarton and the Vale of Leven. </span></span><span><span>Bridges, glass production, textile industries </span></span><span><span>such as Turkey Red, Robert the Bruce's retirement home and other surprises.</span></span></p><p><span><span><img src="/media/2550/turkey-red_stirling.jpg?width=334&height=242" alt="" width="212" height="153" rel="13845" data-id="13845" /> <img id="__mcenew" src="/media/4206/dalmonach-worksweb.jpg?width=220&height=153" alt="" width="220" height="153" rel="16605" data-id="16605" /></span></span></p><p>Local historian, David Harvie, is an authority on the textile industries that once spread right through the Vale. You will explore the remnants of what was to become commonly known as the Turkey Red, the strange and often dangerous methods, the world-wide markets and the great social changes that occurred in spite or perhaps because of it. But along the way you will find many other historic features and their stories of interest.</p><p>This trail covers that in the River Leven Heritage Trail brochure available from local libraries or online at <a href="http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/media/2619077/vale_of_leven.pdf">http://www.west-dunbarton.gov.uk/media/2619077/vale_of_leven.pdf</a></p><p> </p>
