Lethamhill is situated in Helensburgh - birthplace of John Logie Baird, the inventor of television. We are close to Hillhouse, the home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh which is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public. More of Mackintosh's work can be seen in Glasgow including the Willow Tearooms on Sauchiehall Street and the Art School on Garnet Hill.

• From Helensburgh Pier take a boat trip on the Waverley - the last sea-going paddle steamer in the world.
• Visit scenic Loch Lomond which is just a few minutes drive from us.
• Take a day trip to the Isle of Bute (the Victorian gothic splendour of Mount Stuart House and the ruins of old Rothesay Castle are not to be missed).
• Visit Great Cumbrae (home of the smallest cathedral in Britain).
• Have a relaxing day on the West Highland Line watching the best of Scotland's scenery from the comfort of the train. One of the world's most famous train journeys, the trip can take you from Glasgow to Fort William and then along the Road the Isles to Mallaig, or to Oban on the shorter route.
• For sporting visitors, there are lots of opportunities for golf and fishing.
