Looking north from the viewpoint at the top of the castle mound. On the left is the Castle Museum, and behind that the High Kirk. In the middle distance is Dunoon town and East Bay.

This Church of Scotland building was formerly Dunoon Old & St. Cuthbert's. A church has stood on this site, associated with the nearby castle since the 13th. century. The current building started as a late decorated gothic revival church by Gillespie Graham. It seated 500 and was opened in 1817. The tower was heightened by ten feet in 1840 and a bell was installed. The church was lengthened and widened in 1909 by Andrew Balfour. The unusual gravity clock that was installed in 1840 when the tower was heightened, has an unlit, brown face to the south (visible in the photo). This was so as not to interfere with the navigation of shipping on the Clyde. http://www.dunoon-highkirk.org.uk/index.htm/index.htm

The ferry is just arriving at Dunoon, and this is the view from the driver's seat just prior to disembarking. The Dunoon ferry is quite unusual in that the vehicle access is to the side of the boat at one end, rather than the accesses being at each extreme end.
