Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute

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. Quoted from the Visit Scotland .
