Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Dumbarton Rock: the French Prison [This is one of a linked series of articles about Dumbarton Rock. See the end of 1380091 for a list of the reference works that are cited here in abbreviated form.]
The French Prison, shown in the foreground, was built in about in 1790, but acquired its present name about 20 years later, when it held prisoners from the Napoleonic Wars [OSG07, p5, 25]. This building stands on the northern side of a level area between the Rock's two peaks. The eastern peak, the Beak, is visible in the background. On its top, the upper part of the Magazine is visible directly behind the French Prison. To the upper left, the bastion of the Duke of Argyll's Battery is visible. On the near side of the French Prison, there formerly stood several buildings that defended the important north entrance of the medieval castle; these buildings included the Wallace Tower (see the next item in this series). Previous: 1381252. Next: 1381295. |
