Beschreibung

A character filled seaside town located on the River Clyde, Helensburgh is known as the ‘Garden City’ due to its picturesque surroundings. The town’s Victorian roots are visible through its graceful tree-lined streets, long promenade and many attractive parks.

Helensburgh has been home to some of Scotland’s most renowned artists and engineers, including Henry Bell (inventor of the steamship) and John Logie Baird (creator of the television). The splendid Hill House is the jewel in the town’s architectural crown, designed by the highly revered architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland.

The A82 connects Helensburgh and runs east through Dumbarton towards Glasgow or further up to glorious countryside round Loch Lomond and through Glencoe to Fort William and the Highlands. Helensburgh Central, one of the town’s three train stations, also operates regular services to Edinburgh, Glasgow and many destinations further afield.
