Seems to be a typo. The place at the mouth of the Clyde intrigued me, never heard of it before. Should be Alcluith, ancient British name for a hill where the Leven meets the Clyde at present-day Dumbarton, cluith presumably being Clyde (Clutha in Gaelic). Looks like it survived as the name of a health centre in Dumbarton called Alcluith Health Centre until recently.
Thanks for the info prompt.
