Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Alexandria, a town in West Dunbartonshire. The town is situated on the River Leven, four miles north west of Dumbarton. The town's traditional industries, most importantly cotton manufacturing, bleaching and printing, have been phased out. The Argyll Motor Works, is a former car factory in Alexandria, It was opened in 1906 by Argyll Motors Ltd, at the time the largest producer of cars in Scotland. After the Argyll company folded it was used as a torpedo factory, subsequently lying empty for many years. A. J. Cronin's uncle owned a pub in Bridge Street. Alexandria sits on the former A82 main road between Glasgow and Loch Lomond. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
