Set in the heart of Helensburgh's leafy conservation area, Balmillig is conveniently close to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, yet just 20 miles from Glasgow International Airport (transfers available). Charles Rennie Mackintosh's architectural masterpiece, The Hill House, is just up the road, as is Scotland's famous West Highland Railway, voted recently by Wanderlust readers as the world's top rail journey. Faslane Naval Base is 10 minutes by car.
