Dunoon, Argyll & Bute, Scotland - Drive Through, Sandbank - Dunoon - Sandbank
Dunoon is the main town on the Cowal peninsula in the south of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is located on the western shore of the upper Firth of Clyde, to the south of the Holy Loch and to the north of Innellan. As well as forming part of the council area of Argyll and Bute.
The early history of Dunoon often revolves around two feuding clans: the Lamonts and the Campbells. Dunoon was a popular destination when travel by steamships was common around the Firth of Clyde; Glaswegians described this as going doon the watter. This diminished, and many holidaymakers started to go elsewhere as roads and railways improved and the popularity of overseas travel increased.
In 1961, during the height of the Cold War, Dunoon became a garrison town to the United States Navy. In 1992, shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, they closed their Holy Loch base in Sandbank, and neighbouring Dunoon suffered an economic downturn. Since the base's closure, the town and surrounding area are again turning to tourism, marketing to outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife lovers, as well as promoting festivals and competitions. The largest annual event held in the town is the Cowal Highland Gathering, which has been held since 1894. The Royal National Mòd has been also been held in the town.
Dunoon Castle was built on a small, partly artificial, conical hill beside the Firth of Clyde in the 12th century, of which low walls remain. It eventually became a royal castle with the Earls of Argyll (Campbells) as hereditary keepers, paying a nominal rent of a single red rose to the sovereign. Mary, Queen of Scots visited Dunoon Castle on 26 July 1563 and granted several charters during her visit.
In 1646 the Dunoon massacre of members of Clan Lamont by members of Clan Campbell took place. The castle was destroyed during Argyll's Rising, a rebellion in 1685 against James VII.

TOP 10 GLASGOW PUBS FOR COP26
Visiting Glasgow for the first time? Coming to the city for COP26? Then this is for you.
Everyone will have their own idea of what constitutes a good pub, and consequently will have their own Top 10. But this is my Top 10, and I think any little bit of insider information has got to be useful for anyone who has never been to Glasgow before.
I have tried to focus on traditional Glasgow pubs, and so have omitted many excellent establishments based in disused churches and the like.
If you can't find a pub that suits you, then Glasgow's a big city and there's sure to be others not far away.
COP26 is all about saving Planet Earth, and I'll drink to that.

Driving down Lombard Street is a must when visiting San Francisco
Driving Lombard Street in San Francisco had always been on my bucket list. Lombard Street is one of the most famous in the world with its steep and curvy bends. Located just five blocks from the Fisherman’s Wharf, in the heart of San Francisco, up a series of steep hills, is the famed Lombard Street, which is often dubbed the crookedest street in the world.
At an elevation of 325’, Lombard Street takes you through 8 very steep and curvy switchbacks at a 27% grade, which means, for every 100 feet you travel, the street drops 27 feet.
This is just a short video to show you this extraordinary road, one of the crookedest street in the world

Old Photographs Dumbarton West Dunbartonshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Dumbarton, Scottish Gaelic Dùn Breatann or Dùn Breatainn, meaning fort of the Britons. It is a town in West Dunbartonshire, on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven flows into the Clyde estuary. Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and later the county town of Dunbartonshire. Dumbarton Castle, on top of Dumbarton Rock, dominates the area. Dumbarton was a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975. Upon their marriage on 19 May 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle became the Earl and Countess of Dumbarton. Dumbarton emerged from the 19th century as a centre for shipbuilding, glassmaking, and whisky production. However these industries have since declined, and Dumbarton today is increasingly a commuter town for Glasgow. David Byrne was born in Dumbarton, to parents Tom, from Lambhill, Glasgow, and Emma. He is the elder of two children. Two years after his birth, his parents moved to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and then to Arbutus, Maryland, in the United States, when he was 8 or 9 years old. His father worked as an electronics engineer. David Byrne was the founding member, principal songwriter, and lead singer and guitarist of the American new wave band Talking Heads, active between 1975 and 1991. The Cutty Sark Clipper Ship, 1869; was completed by the Denny Shipyard in Dumbarton, after the liquidation of her contracted builders, Scott and Linton; preserved in a dry dock at Greenwich, London, England.

Dumbarton Bridge Stronger After Labor Day Weekend Seismic Operation
A planned shutdown of the Dumbarton Bridge over Labor Day weekend 2012
allowed crews to install a critical seismic joint at on the eastern side of the bridge where the concrete approach meets the steel box girder section of the bridge.
Videographer Mark Jones was on the scene before and during the operation, and explains how the bridge was lifted several inches with hydraulic jacks as the weekend began, so crews could install that joint. Now that the joint has been installed, crews can work below the bridge deck, and for the next few months, continue the process of installing 96 seismic bearings to make the Dumbarton Bridge even safer during a major earthquake.
