3 LOCATION Helensburgh is a prosperous Scottish town located approximately 25 miles west of Glasgow city centre. The town owes its growth and popularity to its attractive seaside location on the Clyde, combined with excellent transport links and the relatively large population within a short travelling distance. Helensburgh is located 4 miles from Loch Lomond, accessed via the B832, with Dumbarton lying approximately 10 miles to the south east, accessed via the A814 which also links with the A83 trunk road to Glasgow.

HM NAVAL BASE CLYDE Commonly known as Faslane, the HM Naval Base Clyde is located 5 miles to the north west of Helensburgh and is home to the core of the Submarine Service. In 2015, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that Faslane will be the home of Britain s Trident nuclear deterrent and has announced over 500 million of Government funding to the base. This in turn will increase military and civilian staff to 8,200 by 2022 as more submarines are transferred to Faslane. The MOD is expected to base new Successors Class Submarines at Faslane when they come in to service in 2028.
