Local resident, father of 3. I work in recruitment, and enjoy boating on the Clyde sea lochs and Loch Lomond with the family. I am also volunteer crew with the local lifeboat station.
Helensburgh is a popular tourist town near loch Lomond and is also close to Faslane naval base, making the Lookout apartment a comfortable and affordable choice for holidaymakers, and for those visiting the area to work at Faslane naval base.
