Dunoon blossomed and became a top holiday destination during the Victorian holiday boom, when paddle steamers brought thousands of visitors from Glasgow to enjoy the stunning scenery and local hospitality. The Waverley, the last working seagoing paddle steamer and one of the world’s greatest historic ships, still calls regularly at Dunoon pier. Dunoon is a maritime gateway to the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park. Dreamy sea lochs, hills, forests and glens are full of wildlife and just waiting to be explored. Paddle boarding, kayaking, quad and mountain biking, there is so much to do and explore in this beautiful part of the world. Dunoon is also world-famous for the Cowal Games, the largest and most spectacular highland games in the world. The Games attract thousands of people each August and are a must see!
