All the team at the Helensburgh Advertiser would like to wish all our readers, advertisers and contributors a very happy New Year.

Our team are now enjoying a short New Year break, but our online news service continues over the next few days. We'll be back at work on Wednesday, and the next print edition of the Advertiser is on sale on Thursday, January 4.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy a peaceful break and that the coming 12 months bring everything you hope for.

A huge thank you for all your support over the last 12 months – we're looking forward to bringing you even more news, views and fantastic photos from around the Helensburgh and Lomond area throughout 2018.
