A NEW Facebook group has been set up to showcase modern photographs of Dumbarton.

Administrators of the 'Dumbarton Memories' Facebook group have established the new page due to overwhelming demand.

'Dumbarton Memories' will still continue in its current format, showcasing historical pictures, while 'Modern Pictures of Dumbarton' will show more up to date photos.

A spokesperson for the group said: "Due to the popularity of people's stunning photography of the town and surrounding area in 'Dumbarton Memories', the admins have decided to create a new group as a place to show off your work.

"We have had to take posts of modern town pictures off the memories page as they were squeezing out photographs and stories of the past, something we want to try and encourage again.

"So if you like seeing pictures of the town or just enjoy seeing them, join this new group as a place to see the stunning photography that we have enjoyed on Dumbarton memories.

"It can be a phone photo, a blurry polaroid or a perfect DSLR photo, just share your pictures and videos for everyone to enjoy.

"Share this group and we look forward to seeing your work."

To apply to join the new group go to the Modern Pictures of Dumbarton Facebook page and send a request.
