Flood, Dumbarton Quay

Flood, Dumbarton Quay
In September 1605 Chancellor Dunfermline reported to King James VI that inundations of the sea were likely to destroy and take away the whole town [of Dumbarton]. It was estimated that the flood defences would cost 30,000 pounds Scots, the cost being levied nationwide. Quoted from Wikipedia

It seems that Chancellor Dunfermline foretold of global warming well in advance, Joe. ;-)
Did the flood defences ever get built? If so then extra measures are now required.
