Parishioners head for the hills in effort to save historic church bells
The first steps are being taken in a money-raising mission to save the bells of a historic church.Parishioners of St Patrick's in Dumbarton are making their annual parish walk on Sunday, April 27, a sponsored fund-raiser as they embark on the first leg of a quest to raise around £23,000.
Major work is needed to maintain the carillon of 23 bells - one of only four in Scotland - in St Patrick's red sandstone bell tower, which was completed as an addition to the imposing Strathleven Place church in 1927.
