The most bombed town in Scotland was Peterhead, in the North-East. This was due to the fact that it held captured German U-Boats, Home to R.A.F. Buchan and was vital in the British ship-building industry.
During the clydebank blitz you would firstly nhear sirens going of and there would be a lot of noise. The policemen would be on duty along with the air raid wardens making sure no lightsd could be seen. There was a lot of fires you could feel the heat from a long distance away. About 12,000 houses were damaged and only about 7 undamaged.
In 1938 (before the war had started, the German Air-force (The Luftwaffe) had taken reconnaissance pictures of Clydebank, Duntocher, Old Kilpatrick and Yoker - using non-military planes with cameras attached to them. From these they were able to see the large Industrial potential of the area in Wartime. In this pre war mission, they found the Fuel tanks at Duntocher, the Singer factory, John Browns shipyard, and the Shipyards in the Beardmore area (where the hotel/hospital now sits). These areas were heavily bombed on the nights of the raids. After the war was finished, a Clydebank born soldier by chance found some of the surveillence photos from the 1938 mission.

The Blitz is called the Blitz because the term 'Blitz' is short for Blitzkrieg and means Lightning war in German. Your Welcome <3
