In the BBC programme Dragon's Den, which Dragon was born in Clydebank, Scotland?

The story behind the answer

Duncan Bannatyne was born in Clydebank, Scotland.

Bannatyne was born on 2 February 1949 in Clydebank, a town in West Dunbartonshire near Glasgow. He later became known for building businesses in health clubs, care homes and hotels, and for his charitable work.

He joined the original Dragon's Den panel in 2005 and remained one of the programme's most recognisable investors for many series. His background differed from that of some panel colleagues because his business portfolio extended beyond a single retail or technology sector.

Clydebank is sometimes mistaken for Bannatyne's later business base or for the place where he became wealthy. The question concerns his birthplace. His entrepreneurial career developed over many years and included the Bannatyne's health-club chain, which bears his name.
