Explore Helensburgh

Helensburgh is a great shopping destination, with a fantastic range of unique independent shops, and a vibrant programme of craft fairs, markets, concerts, festivals and sporting events. There are also many wonderful eateries to enjoy, with everything from patisserie and cosy cafés to award-winning restaurants or fish and chips on the seafront promenade.

The beautiful conservation village of Luss on Loch Lomond is the ancestral home of Clan Colquhoun. As well as picture postcard views, the settlement has a fascinating history, including an 11th century Viking hogback grave in the churchyard. There are several fabulous gift shops and eateries, and plenty of activities for all the family.

Ardlui offers watersports on Loch Lomond, and Arrochar is a great base for Munro-bagging and mountain-biking. The whole area includes a number of trails such as the John Muir Way, Three Lochs Way, Loch Lomond and Cowal Way and Argyll Sea Kayak Trail. The Clyde Sea Lochs Trail is a 65 mile road route from Dumbarton to Arrochar, including the Rosneath Peninsula with its own fascinating heritage trails. Kilcreggan Pier is a regular stop for the Waverley Paddle Steamer on its Clyde cruises, and the Peninsula offers stunning views down the Firth of Clyde to Bute and Arran.
