Gartocharn

Gartocharn (listenⓘ; Scottish Gaelic: Gart a’ Chàirn [ˈkarˠʃt̪ ə ˈxaːrˠɲ]) is a village in West Dunbartonshire in Scotland, United Kingdom.

In recent years, this has dwindled, however, there is still a large haulage firm, Coopers, and the Lochs and Glens holiday company based in the village.

Sir Walter Scott is reputed to have written Lady of the Lake whilst staying at Ross Priory and Gartochraggan, on the waters edge, north of the village.

It was the home of Tom Weir MBE and his wife Rona, who for many years was the primary school headteacher.

[3] Actor David McCallum briefly lived in the village with his mother as a child during World War Two.
