Starting as a settlement on the east bank of the short River Leven, which connects the celebrated Loch Lomond to the Firth, it was the centre of a British ([[Celt]]ic) kingdom before the [[Roman]]s and endured as “British” (rather than of the [[Picts]] or Scots) through and after the Roman occupation of [[England]]. Tradition has the 4th/5th century [[St. Patrick]] being born there. During the dark ages it expanded its control of much of south-east Scotland and became capital of the kingdom of [[Strathclyde]] before being taken over by the Scottish king [[Malcolm II]] and absorbed into a unified kingdom by [[Duncan I]] in 1034. It became a royal burgh in 1222.
