Glencairn House, in the town’s High Street, will undergo a major transformation which will include the construction of a three storey extension to create extra space to house the library and museum.

Museum displays will be integrated throughout the building, featuring key objects from the Council’s museum, archive, and local history collections that tell stories of Dumbarton.
Items on display will include some of the oldest in the Council’s collection, including a Roman Medallion from 193AD and the bronze ‘Skellat Bell’ from around 900AD.
Sections of the building are set to be clad in a colourful ceramic tile, which architect Suzy Brown said is closely linked to the history of the area.
She said: “The key colour is a turquoise colour that comes from the glass objects made in the glassworks but we see this repeated in
