Various photos taken in one of our favourite towns!
Argyll Street - a great little shopping centre
Bells of Dunoon - a fantastic clothes and souvenir shop! Website here
The Argyll Hotel is opposite the pier, and is one of Dunoon's distinctive landmarks.The hotel website is here
Hillfoot Street and Argyll Vintners - the only place in the town (owing to new licencing laws) where you can buy gift packs of alcohol to take home (miniatures in tartan boxes etc).
Tourist Information Centre along Alexandra Parade - a great place for books, maps, gifts and good helpful advice
The Castle House Museum details the history of Cowal to the present day, the history of the Clyde steamers, the wartime years and the American Naval base at the nearby Holy Loch. It is one of Dunoon’s most historic buildings set in beautiful gardens - unfortunately I have not had time to go inside yet!
On the hill opposite Dunoon Pier and erected in 1896, the statue of Robert Burns' 'Highland Mary' Campbell stares sadly across the water. You can read the full story here
The Yachtsman Cafe - probably the best place to eat, such good food and so reasonably priced too!
Geoffrey listening to those lovely Clyde waves (they sound nicer than any other kind!!)
Below, the beach near the cafe - swans, gulls and the odd crow
Below: looking south from the same spot, and the road to Innellan...
...and across the water to the Cloch Lighthouse
There's much more information about Dunoon here
