No 28

No 28 on East Princes Street is a local cafe and takeaway in Garelochhead, the compact Argyll village at the head of the Gare Loch on the West Highland railway line north of Helensburgh. The village sits at the top of the loch that gives its name to the HMNB Clyde naval base — Faslane — one of the UK's principal naval installations, which brings a steady population of service personnel and contractors to the area. East Princes Street is a residential address in the village, and No 28 provides the local community with a food option that reduces the need to travel to Helensburgh for everyday eating. A practical neighbourhood cafe in a village that has more strategic importance than its size would suggest.
