Discover Helensburgh & Lomond,
the Gateway to Argyll

Only 45 minutes by train from Glasgow, and within easy reach of both the west coast and central belt of Scotland, Helensburgh is the ideal location for a day out. Browse in unique independent shops and galleries, dine in award-winning restaurants and cafés, then relax in a boutique hotel or B&B. Visit the internationally renowned Hill House by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Or get outdoors – you can enjoy a wander along our seafront promenade, or if you are feeling more adventurous, head out on the John Muir Way or Three Lochs Way!

Enjoy fabulous gardens at Glenarn and Geilston and our beautiful tree-lined streets – we are known as the Garden City of the Clyde!

There are lots of events on throughout the year including concerts, lectures, film shows, and so much more – see our What’s On Calendar for all the latest events. You can also find out all about our town via the Discover Helensburgh App.

Helensburgh Music Society presents a series of 5 concerts each year, between October and March, in the form of performances by Professional Ensembles or Solo Recitals. Our concerts, in the Helensburgh and Lomond Civic Centre on Clyde Street, Helensburgh, are open to everyone. An evening out listening to beautiful music, and a chance to meet friends over an interval drink. Ticket prices are low, especially the season ticket. We encourage performers to talk to the audiences, introducing both themselves and the pieces of music they are playing, expanding on the programme notes so adding to the accessibility of the music. Each year the programme we present, features a variety of performers and instrumental combinations. We also include repertoire ranging from early music to established classical works as well as modern compositions and Jazz. Performers include Scottish based musicians as well as international musicians and ensembles, all of the very highest calibre. It is also an important aim of HMS to offer opportunities to outstanding young artists, especially those based in Scotland.
