The Cowal peninsula, formed by Loch Fyne to the west and Loch Long to the east, is the most visited part of Argyll. It is not far from Glasgow and frequent ferry services by CalMac and Western Isles Ferries from Gourock serve Dunoon.

Dunoon is the capital of the Cowal region, and grew from a village to a major Clyde seaside resort in the 1800. It is dominated by Castle Hill upon which sits Castle House, built in the 1820s by a wealthy Glaswegian who generated local protest about access to common land around the house.

Places to visit include the Cowal Bird Garden and Ardnadam Heritage Trail, both a short distance from the town. The Dunoon Ceramics Visitor Centre in the town itself provides tours around the factory and offers an interesting rainy day activity.

On the last weekend in August, Dunoon plays host to the Cowal Highland Gathering, the largest of its kind in the world. The grand finale of this event is the spectacle of the massed pipes and drums of more than 150 bands marching through the streets of the town.

The landscape of the south-west Cowal is in complete contrast to the townscape of Dunoon. The Kyles of Bute, tracts of water separating the north end of Bute from Cowal, offer breathtaking scenery and some of the best sailing in Scotland.
