Dunoon and Kilcreggan

Dunoon and Kilcreggan are two towns on peninsulas that are often better reached by ferry rather than the long road round! Dunoon sits on the Cowal Peninsula while Kilcreggan is on the Roseneath Peninsula. Both sit on the edge of the firth of Clyde and are accessible by CalMac Ferry from Gourock.

The Blairmore

The Blairmore is a cafe and shop nestled on the edge of Loch Long between Kilcreggan and Dunoon offering locally sourced produce and traditional Scottish breakfasts. The cafe looks out towards the loch and the pier where the world’s last sea-going paddle steamer The Waverley calls in

Kilcreggan Antiques

Kilcreggan Antiques is an antiques shop run by BBC TV antiques expert Roo Irvine. It originally operated from a shipping container and now operates on the town’s Shore Road

Wreckspeditions

Wreckspeditions offers boat and dive tours of shipwrecks around the Firth of Clyde from Dunoon. The Clyde was once the centre of one of the world’s biggest shipbuilding industries and there are many submerged and semi-submerged wrecks with stories to tell!
