    I grew up in Helensburgh, spent 20+ years in the town before moving to the USA for work. I miss it. A lot. I might have cried watching this as you passed my mums house. Helensburgh is a lovely wee town, I know its not for a lto of people but its home and I can't wait to come home.
    Sadly the Waverly doesn't service Helensburgh anymore, the Pier is not in good condition and boats can no longer service it. You used to be able to get the ferry to kilgreggen or gourrock from the pier but not any more.

      I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Sorry for making you cry. It is a shame that the Waverley no longer goes to Helensburgh. It would be amazing if it did again.

    I always love watching your videos. I’ve not been to Helensburgh in over 20years. Forgotten how pretty it is. My hubby took me there on a day trip when we were dating. Fish n chips plus an ice cream. Glad you had a lovely day.

    I think John Logie Baird invented the Television, not the ☎️. Anyways I was looking for a video on Helensburgh as I will be travelling to there this Saturday 10th September from Brighton on the coast of Southern England, and I’ve already got a room booked at the travelodge that featured early in your video. It looks a gorgeous town.

      @@AScottishOdyssey Thank you so much your reply, I looked on google maps and its only like 3 miles or something. I am actually a taxi driver in Brighton and I have a job booked Saturday to take a client to Helensbugh from Brighton, you can imagine the shock and excitement I felt that I was getting a chance to go to Scotland again, and actually be paid for it, it is a little bit drive though, around 500 miles and I will have to drive 500 more to get back home lol :-) it really is tha far honestly, but i will have the proclaimers in my head come Saturday. Anyways, so I thought I would stay the night and get up early Sunday and go to Loch Lomond. I went there once when I was a 17 and it was just magical to me. So now being 43 I cant wait to experience that feeling of awe once again again.

    • @AScottishOdyssey
      @AScottishOdyssey  2 роки тому +2

      That's a big job. I hope that you're getting well paid for driving that. Yeah, I can totally understand having the Proclaimers in your head for that one. Luss, which is the really pretty town on the shores of Loch Lomond, is about 9 miles from Helensburgh. That's really worth visiting. Just bear in mind, that, if you do go to Luss, you will have to park in one of the two visitor car parks and walk through the town. So, have some change for the parking.
