As part of Argyll and Bute’s CHORD programme to revitalise Helensburgh’s town centre, an ambitious and ongoing project is underway to create a unique Outdoor Museum for Colquhoun Square. The vision is to create an accessible Outdoor Museum that will explore, celebrate and display the rich and varied history of Helensburgh for local residents and visitors to the town, both now and in time to come. The project is particularly an opportunity to record the untold stories- gems of history and heritage. Quoted from the Outdoor Museum website

1851 William Lees, aged 16, becomes apprentice shoemaker. Six feet behind you, is the site of the corner shop, where he proudly works his trade. The wee shoes here, are cast from four little shoes he crafts to evidence his skill as a cobbler. His great, great, great granddaughter treasures the original wee shoes, in her home, in Helensburgh.
