Helensburgh
The town of Helensburgh is in Argyll and Bute in Scotland. It rests on the north shore of the Firth of Clyde and the eastern coast of the entry to the Gareloch. Though traditionally in the Dumbarton District, it was re-allocated under the regional government reorganisation that occurred in 1996. Before 1975, it was an area in former Dunbartonshire. Pertaining to the 2001 Census, the town has a permanent population of around 14626. Helensburgh was formed in 1776 predominantly following the building and construction of spa baths on the site of Ardencaple Castle, which dated back to about 1600, by Sir James Colquhoun of Luss. Not long after its development, a seaside resort town was built on the east of the spa in the style of Edinburgh New Town, which was named after his wife Helen. A ferryboat service ran around the Firth of Clyde to Greenock, which efficiently and effectively attracted locals who could commute from jobs there. Over time, the town came to be a favourite place of residence for shipping magnates and tobacco merchants from Glasgow. The success of the town is demonstrated by the fact that at one point in the 18th century, the town was the home of one quarter of Britain's millionaires. In the present day, the town is predominantly a commuter town for Glasgow. It also works as a main shopping centre for surrounding places, and tourists continue to be attracted to the seaside resort. The seafront consists of an indoor pool, an esplanade walk, and a variety of shops, cafés and pubs.
