If you visit Mackintosh's Hill House in Helensburgh, it's always worth taking the time to look at some of the rather wonderful buildings in the local area. This includes the neighbouring Morar House. Designed by William Leiper in an Arts and Crafts style, it was constructed in 1901, a year before its Hill House, and was originally built for members of the McAlpine shipping family.

Glasgow has given the world many things, especially in terms of engineering and ship-building, and one of these was Europe's first successful steam-powered passenger service which ran between Helensburgh, Glasgow and Greenock in the early 1800s. The ship which ran this route was called Comet, a paddlesteamer launched from Port Glasgow in 1812.
