Dunoon

Dunoon is the main resort on the beautiful Cowal Peninsula and the maritime gateway to the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park.
This one of the Firth of Clyde’s foremost resorts is built around the historic Castle Mound and famous for its large Victorian pier.

The town has an attractive promenade. Take a walk along the high street and browse the selection of craft shops and galleries, or enjoy a refreshment in one of the cafes or restaurants. Make a visit to the Castle House Museum to discover lots of fascinating facts about the area’s local history and its people. The town’s swimming pool and leisure centre has recently been refurbished to a high standard and is a popular attraction for locals and visitors alike.
The town is a great base to explore the surrounding attractions of Argyll Forest Park, which includes the mystical Puck’s Glen, and nearby Benmore Botanic Garden.
As well as being reachable by road, there are ferries connecting Dunoon to Gourock in Renfrewshire, making Dunoon easily reachable from Central Scotland.
