Helensburgh is home to around 15,000 people on the Clyde coast, an elegant Georgian-planned town that also happens to be the birthplace of a genuine world-changing invention.
The Birthplace of Television
John Logie Baird was born in Helensburgh in 1888 and went on to give the world's first public demonstration of a working television system in London in 1926. Helensburgh has celebrated the connection with a seafront statue, and the town's grid-planned Georgian streets — laid out in the 18th century — are a local landmark in their own right.
What that history doesn't leave behind
This town's history doesn't come with a dedicated sweet shop set up for bulk bags, vegan-specific ranges or halal-friendly lines — not the kind of retail a town this size tends to support locally.
Why Helensburgh shoppers order online anyway
Helensburgh's town centre is well suited to everyday shopping, but bulk sweets, vegan ranges and halal-friendly lines aren't really part of the local retail mix. Shoppers after that tend to head towards Dumbarton or Glasgow, both under an hour away, or order online instead.
