Through the Smarter Choices Smarter Places funding programme Argyll and Bute Council have been able to commission the production of an exciting new active travel heritage guide called Dunoon Forward.
Dunoon Forward is your on-the-move heritage guide to the Dunoon area. Featuring over 50 locations, 5 trails and a host of family friendly activities that create a fun way to explore Dunoon and the coastal communities of Bullwood, Kirn and Hunters Quay.
Dunoon Forward has been developed in collaboration with local people and organisations, who have co-created content and shared fascinating insights into the social and cultural history of place.
You can follow trails or simply use Dunoon Forward as a digital guide to the heritage of Dunoon, Kirn, Bullwood, Hunter’s Quay and Sandbank.
Dunoon Forward is packed full of images and information about historic features ranging from monuments and buildings to more hidden local sites.

Discover our lost coastal Lidos, the history of local piers and the complex history of the Jim Crow rock.
