 Jinglis Says:  We went to this pub on New Year's Day, which might have been a factor in the early closing time (10.30pm) and the downstairs bar being closed. It has a friendly atmosphere and a mix of locals and visitors chatting with each other. It's also the first time I've seen an...

Sinbad's: Down the pub, Dunoon

 Anyone whose memories of Dunoon are of the period when the submarine base was in Holy Loch will be pleasantly surprised that it has regained some of its original charm. It seems that it is possible to...

 Cowal Games is the major Highland games in Scotland. Is held in late August each year. Well worth a visit. These are pictures of the procession down the main street after the event.
