HELENSBURGH , a municipal and police
burgh
  and watering-place of Dumbartonshire,
Scotland
 , on the N. shore of the Firth of
Clyde
 , opposite Greenock, 24 M. N.W. of Glasgow by the North British railway. Pop. (19o1) 8J54. There is a station at Upper Helensburgh on the West Highland railway, and from the railway pier at Craigendoran there is steamer communication with Garelochhead, Dunoon and other pleasure resorts on the western coast. In 1776 the site began to be built upon, and in 1802 the town, named after Lady Helen, wife of Sir James
Colquhoun of Luss, the ground landlord, was erected into a
burgh
  of barony, under a provost and council. The public buildings include the burgh
hall
 , municipal buildings, Hermitage. schools and two hospitals. On the esplanade stands an obelisk to
Henry
  Bell, the
pioneer
  of steam navigation, who died at Helensburgh in 1830.
