We have now appointed a site manager for Lang Craigs, he officially started on the 3rd May. Work will start in earnest now.
A commemorative tree planting has been held at the site. A local primary school came along and planted 17 trees, to mark the 17 people who lost their lives during the air raid of May 5th 1941. The trees have been planted adjacent to the starfish bunker, which is reputed to have saved Dumbarton from the devastation suffered by neighbouring Clydebank.
