Helensburgh
The town of Helensburgh is in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It sits on the north coast of the Firth of Clyde and the eastern shore of the entry to the Gareloch. Despite the fact that traditionally in the Dumbarton District, it was re-allocated under the regional government reorganisation that ensued in 1996. Until 1975, it was an area in former Dunbartonshire. Citing the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 14626. Helensburgh was developed in 1776 largely following the construction of spa baths on the site of Ardencaple Castle, which went back to about 1600, by Sir James Colquhoun of Luss. Not long after its development, a seaside resort town was developed on the east of the spa in the style of Edinburgh New Town, which was named after his wife Helen. A ferry service operated across the Firth of Clyde to Greenock, which efficiently and successfully drew in homeowners who could commute from jobs there. Gradually, the town emerged as a favourite home for shipping moguls and tobacco merchants from Glasgow. The success of the town is displayed by the fact that at one point in the 18th century, the town was home to one quarter of Britain's millionaires. In the present day, the town is mostly a commuter town for Glasgow. It also serves as a main shopping centre for nearby locations, and tourists continue to be attracted to the seaside resort. The seafront includes an indoor swimming pool, an esplanade walk, and a range of shops, cafés and pubs.
