What to do and see in Helensburgh, Scotland: The Best Free Things to do

September 14, 2021 Leida Jutras

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.

I’ve just eaten the best fish and chips ever!!! Huge portion and so so tasty. I can’t praise it highly enough. Feather light batter and perfect chips. Given the restrictions - we had to eat outside (as I was drinking alcohol) but this added to the enjoyment. There’s a gazebo with fairy lights and a patio heater and everyone is so friendly. We’ll be back next week!

Lovely pub with service from the owner who truly cares about making your experience authentic! We wanted to try whiskey and this pub was recommended to us and it was well worth the visit. The owner and the locals were so friendly, thank you for a great night!

Since they've renovated the promenade it's looking beautiful. It's a great place to sit and look onto the loch or just to stroll along. Plenty of seats for sitting, or you can just "sit on the wall". With it's revamped square too, Helensburgh is now a super looking place and is always a favourite with day tourists/visitors. Plenty of eating places.
