10 Things to do in Helensburgh That You Shouldn't Miss

December 5, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Helensburgh (/ˈhɛlənzbrə/; Scottish Gaelic: Baile Eilidh, lit. 'town (or burgh) of Helen') is a town within the Helensburgh and Lomond Area of Argyll and Bute Council, Scotland. It also has its own Community Council. Until local government reorganisation in 1996 Helensburgh was in Dumbarton District and hence also in Strathclyde Region; prior to 1975 it was a small burgh with its own town council within Dunbartonshire. In the Middle Ages it was within the Earldom of Lennox, an area sometimes referred to as The Lennox. It lies on the north shore of the Firth of Clyde and the mouth of the Gareloch is close to the western boundary of the town.

Gare Loch

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

This loch runs along the length of Helensburgh to Garelochhead, but perhaps it’s best known for the presence of the naval base Faslane. The loch is a beautiful sight driving north (or south) along the coastal road. Worth paying attention on a sunny day, it’s beautiful.
