Hardgate is a village in West Dunbartonshire , Scotland . Hardgate has probably been settled since neolithic times with a burial site at Knappers Farm, a cup and ring marked stone and a Burial chamber near Cochno Loch providing evidence of this. ref name clydebankstory http www.theclydebankstory.com story TCSA08.php The Clydebank Story ref Although it is a far older settlement, it is administratively part of nearby Clydebank along with the neighbouring village of Duntocher and now lies in the West Dunbartonshire local authority area. The village expanded due to house building by Clydebank town council after World War II , and later by the Wimpey firm in the early 1970s on what had been green belt land. Local Confusion The boundary between Hardgate and Duntocher was always the Loch Humphrey Duntocher Burn, though this was confused a little by the Hardgate ward for councillor elections being created by the now defunct Clydebank District Council this ward using Farm road in Duntocher as its boundary. This was done to ensure roughly equal representation between each of the ward divisions in terms of population. Even now people between Farm Road and the Burn will mistakenly provide their place of residence as Hardgate. coord 55.9223 N 4.3968 W type city display title References reflist External links http www.clydebankthroughalens.co.uk Clydebank Through A Lens a documentary about Clydebank , Scotland from the 1960s to 80s http www.post blitzclydebank.co.uk Post Blitz Clydebank a documentary about Clydebank , Scotland from 1947 to 1952 Category Villages in West Dunbartonshire Category Neolithic Scotland WestDunbartonshire geo stub ... more details

Infobox person name William Dunn image alt caption birth date 1770 birth place death date Death year and age 1849 1770 death place nationality British other names known for occupation William Dunn 1770 1849 was a Scottish agriculturist, mechanic, and mill owner. Life He was born at Gartclash , in the parish of Kirkintilloch , Dumbartonshire, in October 1770, and was educated at the parish school and partly at the neighbouring village of Campsie. Before he was eighteen he was left an orphan, with four brothers and a sister dependent on him for support. He had already given evidence of possessing an aptitude for mechanical contrivances. His first situation was in the establishment of a cotton spinner named Waddington , at Stockingfield , near Glasgow. Here he learned iron turning and machine making. Three or four years later he was in Messrs. Black & Hastie s works at Bridge of Weir , from which he went to Pollokshaws, to the factories of John Monteith . sfn Goodwin 1888 p 213 About 1800, having acquired a few hundred pounds by the sale of his patrimony of Gartclash, he resolved to start in business for himself, and accordingly opened a manufactory of machines in High John Street , Glasgow.
