Dunoon
Dunoon is the major community on the Cowal peninsula in the south of Argyll and also Bute, Scotland. It gets on the western coast 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 usually focuses on 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 decreased, and also lots of holidaymakers started to go elsewhere as roads and also trains boosted and also the popularity of abroad travel enhanced. In 1961, during the height of the Cold War, Dunoon came to be a fort community to the United States Navy. In 1992, they closed their Holy Loch base, and also Dunoon endured a financial downturn. Because the base's closure, the town and also bordering area are once again counting on tourist, marketing to outside lovers and wild animals fans in addition to advertising celebrations and competitors. The biggest yearly event kept in the community is the Cowal Highland Gathering. The Royal National Mòd has been held in the town eight times, most lately in 2018.
