Dunoon
Dunoon is the primary community on the Cowal peninsula in the south of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It gets on the western coast of the upper Firth of Clyde, to the south of the Holy Loch and to the north of Innellan. The early history of Dunoon usually revolves around two feuding clans: the Lamonts and the Campbells. Dunoon was a popular location when travel by steamships prevailed around the Firth of Clyde; Glaswegians explained this as going "Doon the watter". This decreased, as well as numerous holidaymakers started to go elsewhere as roadways as well as railways improved and also the appeal of abroad traveling boosted. In 1961, throughout the elevation of the Cold War, Dunoon ended up being a garrison town to the United States Navy. In 1992, they closed their Holy Loch base, as well as Dunoon endured an economic decline. Considering that the base's closure, the town as well as surrounding location are once more turning to tourism, marketing to outside fanatics as well as wild animals lovers as well as promoting events and competitors. The biggest yearly occasion kept in the community is the Cowal Highland Gathering. The Royal National Mòd has been held in the community 8 times, most lately in 2018.
