This trip gives you a wonderful introduction to the Cowal peninsula, including a different perspective on the town of Dunoon as you arrive by sea. The mountains surrounding the sea lochs provide a spectacular backdrop as the ferry docks at either Dunoon town centre or Hunters Quay, just a few minutes outside the town.<\/p><p>Alternatively, you can travel by road using the A8, which takes you along the \u2018bonnie banks of Loch Lomond\u2019 to join the A815 itself well worth travelling with its magnificent scenery and views of beautiful Loch Eck. Five miles north of Dunoon on the A815 is the Younger Botanic Garden at Benmore, best known for its avenue of Giant Redwood trees which were planted in 1863 and are now among the highest in Britain.<\/p><p>Dunoon is the second largest town in Argyll and Bute, and came to prominence in the 19<sup>th<\/sup> century when paddle steamers offered easy access to visitors from Glasgow. The world\u2019s last ocean-going paddle steamer, the PS Waverley, still operates during the summer season.<\/p><p>The town is also home to the Cowal Highland Gathering, a world-renowned Highland games which also includes the Scottish and World Highland Dancing Championships, held annually in August attracting around 23,000 visitors and competitors from all over the world.<\/p><p>The Victorian-era wooden Dunoon Pier which was built in 1867 has undergone extensive repair and refurbishment and is now being used for many different events. Several other buildings within the central area of Dunoon have been refurbished in the last year and have brought many people to the town for various events.<\/p><p>In 2018 The World Championship Water Skiing competitions were held for a week in the town and also the Royal National Mod<\/p><h3>By Road<\/h3><ul><li><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;\">35 miles from Glasgow down M8 then by ferry &#8211; <\/span><a style=\"font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.western-ferries.co.uk\/\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.western-ferries.co.uk\/\">Western Ferries<\/a><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0px;\"> (Vehicle and Passenger ferry) * Buy tickets before boarding at the Co-op in Greenock or Pauls shop in Gourock for a reduced fee.<\/span><\/li><li>75 miles from Glasgow via Loch Lomond<\/li><\/ul><h3>By Rail<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotrail.co.uk\/plan-your-journey\/stations-and-facilities\/grk\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.scotrail.co.uk\/plan-your-journey\/stations-and-facilities\/grk\">Scot Rail <\/a>then by ferry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loganair.co.uk\/\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/www.calmac.co.uk\/gourock-dunoon-ferry-summer-timetable\">Caledonian Macbrayne<\/a>\u00a0(Passenger only)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a3fca6d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a3fca6d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-87e1a1d\" data-id=\"87e1a1d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9d7be9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c9d7be9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.argyll-bute.gov.uk\/marriage\/2022\/02\/04\/dunoon-registration-office\/\">Dunoon Marriage Rooms<\/a><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9138050 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9138050\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.argyll-bute.gov.uk\/marriage\/2022\/02\/04\/dunoon-registration-office\/\">Castle House Marriage Rooms<\/a><\/h3><p>The marriage ceremony rooms in Dunoon are based on the ground floor of Castle House, an imposing building in its own grounds and enjoying panoramic views over the Firth of Clyde. Built in the 1820s as a holiday home for Lord Provost Ewing of Glasgow, it was originally more modestly named Marine Villa before it was renamed Castle House reflecting its splendour.<\/p><p>In later years it housed the Tulloch Library, a collection bequeathed by a local councillor, and is now home to Castle House Museum, a rich store of Victorian memorabilia on the top floor of the building.<\/p><p>The Castle House grounds are also home to a statue of Highland Mary, looking towards Ayrshire where her true love Robert Burns lived. The beautiful grounds are an ideal location for outdoor civil ceremonies and there are numerous spots particularly well suited to spectacular photographs in particular if you climb the stairs to the top of Castle Hill to the viewpoint which has stunning views looking over the River Clyde.<\/p><p>Dunoon\u2019s ceremony rooms include private waiting facilities for the wedding party and are furnished in keeping with the character of the building.<\/p><p>The larger of the two ceremony rooms can accommodate the wedding party of 4 and 56 guests, while the smaller room accommodates the wedding party of 4 with a maximum of 10 guests.<\/p><p>Floral displays are provided in both rooms but if you prefer to have flesh flowers, you can arrange this yourself \u2013 please discuss with your registrar before your wedding.<\/p><p>Music can be provided, either from a selection held by the registration office or you can supply a CD of your own choice, make sure to provide it to the Registrar at least a few days before the ceremony. We also have a Bluetooth speaker available for use.<\/p><p>Castle House has disabled access and limited parking available.
