A new app for visitors to Helensburgh has been launched, featuring dozens of, places of interest, walking trails and an ‘eye spy’ game of local landmarks.
Available to download free of charge from the Apple Store or Google Play Store, it was commissioned by Argyll and Bute Council.
Trails include the town centre, Craigendoran to Rhu and the Camis Eskan loop, while the eye spy game features the submarine museum and unique features of historic buildings.
Information about history and most local images were provided by Destination Helensburgh.
Apps have also been produced for Dunoon, Campbeltown, Rothesay and Oban -, all funded by the Transport Scotland Smarter Smarter Places programme.
The council’s policy lead for roads and transport Andrew Kain said: “Argyll and Bute is a fantastic place to live, work and visit.
“We want to promote the hidden gems, the rich history, culture, and some of the most famous landmarks we have in the area. It’s the perfect excuse to get active this summer, whether that is on your bike or walking.
“By downloading the apps, you’ll find trails for all abilities and interesting facts on your doorstep you didn’t know about.
“As we work towards creating a climate friendly Argyll and Bute, you also help reduce carbon emissions by leaving your car at home and exploring your local area on bike or foot.”
