Visit Loch Lomond and its 'Bonny Banks'. This area is Scotland's first National Park with a new visitor centre on the banks of the loch. A few miles from Loch Lomond on the north side of the Clyde estuary with lovely views is Helensburgh, birthplace of John Logie Baird, inventor of television. On the line of the 350 million year old Highland Boundary Fault, Helensburgh is technically in the Lowlands although just a short distance away are the much older rocks of the Highlands. Hill House, designed by the renowned Glasgow architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh and built in 1902-3, is open to the public. More of Mackintosh's work can be seen in Glasgow itself.
