The Present Church Building

The current building was erected in 1811 to a design by John Brash on the site of earlier 13/14th-century and 17th-century churches – for more details on the early church in Dumbarton, through the Reformation, and the construction of the building we worship in, see our history pages.

Bert Wilson has compiled some interesting details about the church steeple, clock & bell
