Everything about Brucehill Dumbarton totally explained
Brucehill is a medium-sized
council estate in the west of
Dumbarton, in the
West Dunbartonshire area of
Scotland. The area has always had a high degree of deprivation, with poor housing stock, around 40% of the properties lying vacant, boarded-up, and some even with roofs missing. Brucehill has always had high rates of anti-social behaviour. Despite the poor housing, there are currently no plans for
regeneration, which nearby areas such as
Renton and
Bellsmyre have benefited from. It takes its name from
Robert the Bruce who is linked to the town of Dumbarton by having captured
Dumbarton Castle in
1311 and having had a house built near the town on the
River Leven towards the end of his life, and where he died. The Brucehill area is in the Western part of the town, next to the
Castlehill area. Brucehill is largely an Irish
Catholic area, and a Catholic school,
Our Lady and St Patrick's, is located nearby. The area has a massive flagpole in it, on top which sits a replica of the axe Bruce reputedly used to kill
Henry de Bohun at the
Battle of Bannockburn in
1314.
