Dunoon
Dunoon is the primary town on the Cowal peninsula in the south of Argyll as well as Bute, Scotland. It gets on the western shore of the upper Firth of Clyde, to the south of the Holy Loch and also to the north of Innellan. The early history of Dunoon often revolves around 2 feuding clans: the Lamonts and the Campbells. Dunoon was a preferred location when travel by steamships prevailed around the Firth of Clyde; Glaswegians defined this as going "Doon the watter". This decreased, as well as several holidaymakers started to go in other places as roads as well as railways enhanced and the popularity of abroad travel increased. In 1961, throughout the height of the Cold War, Dunoon became a fort town to the United States Navy. In 1992, they shut their Holy Loch base, and Dunoon experienced a financial decline. Given that the base's closure, the community as well as surrounding location are once again turning to tourism, marketing to outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife enthusiasts along with promoting festivals and competitions. The largest annual event kept in the community is the Cowal Highland Gathering. The Royal National Mòd has been held in the community eight times, most recently in 2018.
