Things to see and do Dunoon

A member of the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh, this garden is home to rare and magnificent species, just like its southern neighbours: Logan and Dawyck gardens. On its 121 hectares of protected land, you can admire some 300 species of rhododendrons, gigantic giant redwoods and some trees that are more than 150 years old. Bhutan, Chile and Tasmania have real small enclaves of their flora here, and there is also a coffee shop on site.

Castle House invites you to dive into the history of the Cowal Peninsula while visiting a magnificent site. From the garden and rooms of the castle, you will enjoy breathtaking views of the Clyde. Exhibits trace local history from the arrival of the first settlers in the Neolithic period, through Highland clan battles, the Victorian era, the Clyde steamers and the World Wars, all with the help of historical re-enactments and archival material. The castle itself dates from the 12th century.
