More about this scene
The coming of the railways put Helensburgh into the Glasgow commuter belt, whilst its steamer connections helped it to develop as a holiday centre. In the distance and slightly to the left of the clock tower is the obelisk erected to the memory of Henry Bell, who built the first steam-powered vessel to sail on the Clyde. Another famous son of the town was J Logie Baird, the inventor of television.
