Extract from the Herald 26th Dec

‘Dust off the Christmas cobwebs ( One of ten Walks in Scotland to walk off Christmas)

Duchess Wood, Helensburgh

Just a short walk from the centre of Helensburgh lies the Duchess Wood. It is large enough to feel like you have escaped civilisation, but short enough that you can loop around it in less than an hour. Dogs will love running around and exploring the forest, while kids can enjoy spotting squirrels and birds between the trees.’
