History
The Dumbarton Burgh and Country Tramway were constructed by Dick, Kerr & Co.. After initially being operated by the Electric Supply Corporation, it was transferred to the Dumbarton Burgh and County Tramways Company.
It ran from Dalmuir West through Dumbarton to Balloch, with a branch to Barloan Toll, and a branch to Jamestown.
Despite the connection with Glasgow Corporation Tramways at Dalmuir West, through running was not agreed.
Closure
The last tramway service ran on 3 March 1928, and two tramcars were transferred to Ayr Corporation Tramways.
