Nice small museum with history of Dunoon etc., would have been nice if it was a bit bigger with more in it, but nice none the less! Nice views from the museum windows.

Very interesting. Quite a trip down memory lane as we both used to hoilday in Dunoon as children and remember the steamers and the bustling pier. Spent a good hour browsing here, Victorian Dunoon, illicit whisky distilling,Neolithic Cowal, wartime Cowal and much more.

Very good value for money and what the couple, running the museum, cannot tell you is not worth knowing. They are full of information about Dunoon and surrounding areas. Spent a good few hours just wandering around and letting my mind drift back to happy times.
