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 as well as to the north of Innellan. The early history of Dunoon often revolves around 2 feuding clans: the Lamonts as well as the Campbells. Dunoon was a prominent destination when travel by steamships prevailed around the Firth of Clyde; Glaswegians defined this as going "Doon the watter". This diminished, and several holidaymakers began to go elsewhere as roadways as well as railways enhanced as well as the popularity of abroad traveling increased. In 1961, throughout the height of the Cold War, Dunoon ended up being a garrison community to the USA Navy. In 1992, they closed their Holy Loch base, as well as Dunoon endured a financial downturn. Since the base's closure, the town and surrounding location are once more resorting to tourist, marketing to outdoor enthusiasts and wild animals enthusiasts as well as advertising festivals and also competitors. The biggest annual occasion held in the town is the Cowal Highland Gathering. The Royal National Mòd has been held in the town eight times, most recently in 2018.
