Both have a developing renewable energy industry. They also share a common Pictish and Norse history. Both island groups were absorbed into the Kingdom of Scotland in the 15th century and remained part of the country following the formation of the Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707, and later the United Kingdom after 1801.

In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water.

There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague., Subject: dumbarton, Relation: capital_of, Options: (A) centre (B) east (C) england (D) france (E) germany (F) indonesia (G) japan (H) kingdom of strathclyde (I) netherlands (J) north (K) northwest (L) ports (M) scotland (N) south (O) united kingdom (P) wales
