The Firth of Clyde is the mouth of the River Clyde. It is located on the west coast of Scotland and forms the deepest coastal waters in the British Isles (up to 164m). Quoted from Wikipedia The graceful holiday town of Helensburgh was named after the wife of Sir James Colquhoun, who founded the town at the end of the 18th century. Handsome buildings, wide elegant tree-lined streets, long promenade and attractive parks and gardens create a pleasantly distinguished atmosphere, even more so in summer as pleasure cruisers jostle at the pier.

As part of Argyll and Bute’s CHORD programme to revitalise Helensburgh’s town centre, an ambitious and ongoing project is underway to create a unique Outdoor Museum for Colquhoun Square. The vision is to create an accessible Outdoor Museum that will explore, celebrate and display the rich and varied history of Helensburgh for local residents and visitors to the town, both now and in time to come. The project is particularly an opportunity to record the untold stories- gems of history and heritage. Quoted from the Outdoor Museum website
