The 1911β12 season was the 35th Scottish football season in which Dumbarton competed at national level, entering the Scottish Football League, the Scottish Cup and the Scottish Qualifying Cup.
Dumbarton were unable to maintain a bright start to their sixth successive Second Division campaign but finished 3rd with 27 points, 8 behind champions Ayr United. [1]
At the end of the season there were no applicants from the Second Division for promotion. It had however been agreed that the bottom First Division club - St Mirren - would be replaced by the Second Division champions - Ayr United - but in the end for financial reasons this did not take place.
