DUNTOCHER (Gaelic, "The Fort of ill hap ")

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 685 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DRO-ECG
DUNTOCHER (Gaelic, "The Fort of ill hap ") , a town on Dalmuir Burn, Dumbartonshire,
Scotland
 , 9 M. from Glasgow. Pop. (1901) 2122. The
district
  contains coal, limestone and ironstone, but there is not much
mining
 . Many of the inhabit-ants are employed at the
Singer
  factory in Kilbowie and at the
Clyde
  Trust yards in Dalmuir. There are considerable Roman remains in the neighbourhood. Antoninus'
Wall
  passed immediately to the
south
 ; the burn is crossed by a
bridge
  alleged to be of Roman origin (which at least is doubtful); subterranean remains indicate a Roman structure; a Roman camp has been traced, and the vicinity has yielded a number of altars, urns, vases, coins and tablets, which are now in the custody of Glasgow University.
