Dunoon is the major community on the Cowal peninsula in the south of Argyll and also Bute, Scotland. It gets on the western shore of the top Firth of Clyde, to the south of the Holy Loch as well as to the north of Innellan. The early history of Dunoon typically revolves around 2 feuding clans: the Lamonts and the Campbells. Dunoon was a preferred destination when travel by steamships prevailed around the Firth of Clyde; Glaswegians described this as going “Doon the watter”.

In 1961, during the elevation of the Cold War, Dunoon became a garrison community to the USA Navy. In 1992, they shut their Holy Loch base, and also Dunoon suffered a financial slump. Since the base’s closure, the community and also surrounding area are again relying on tourism, marketing to exterior enthusiasts and also wild animals fans as well as advertising celebrations as well as competitions. The biggest yearly event kept in the community is the Cowal Highland Gathering. The Royal National Mòd has been kept in the town 8 times, most recently in 2018.
