Old Photograph Celtic Cross Helensburgh Scotland

Old photograph of people standing beside a Celtic Cross in Helensburgh, Scotland. This Scottish town is located on the North shore of the Firth of Clyde and the eastern shore of the entrance to the Gareloch. Helensburgh was founded in 1776 when Sir James Colquhoun of Luss built spa baths on the site of Ardencaple Castle, which dated back to about 1600. He then had the seaside resort town constructed to the east of the spa on a formal layout in the style of Edinburgh New Town, and named it after his wife Helen.
