This evening I am posting some in formation on the upscale town of Helensburgh located on the shore of the Firth of Forth. The population is about 20,000 but its most famous claim to fame is the number of famous people who who were either born in the own or closely connected with it, viz:
- Hollywood Star, Deborah Kerr
- TV Inventor, John Logie Baird
- Henry Bell, steamship pioneer.
- W.H.Auden, famous poet.
- Andrew Bonar Law, former British Prime Minister.
Helensburgh is a very smart, seaside town and worth a diversion when in the Glasgow area. Mackintosh’s Hill House is located there an d worth a visit in its own right.
