French Prison and Sandpoint Marina Crane

French Prison and Sandpoint Marina Crane
Dumbarton Castle

The French Prison, built around 1790, still stands adjacent to the site of the old Wallace Tower. It was used to house French prisoners during the Napoleonic Wars.…

The most famous French prisoner was undoubtedly General Edouard Francais Simon, captured at the Battle of Busaco during the Peninsular War. Quoted from the Dumbarton Castle Society website
