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
