Dunoon Castle. Between the two bays of Dunoon is a hilly nose
of land sticking out into the estuary. This is the site of Dunoon
Castle, once a major stronghold and built some time around 1050.
It had been abandoned by 1650 and today nothing remains beyond
a few grassy lumps on top of the hill that provides an excellent
viewpoint over the town and the Firth of Clyde. Location: On
the outskirts of Dunoon.
