Around Dunoon.

Dunoon is the main town on the Cowal peninsula, reached by ferry across the Clyde from Gourock, and it was once a busy Victorian holiday resort. The Cowal Highland Gathering still fills it each summer. Because many tradespeople and suppliers are across the water, being clearly based on Cowal is a genuine selling point. Customers are spread along the shore to Kirn, Hunters Quay and Innellan, so naming those places and being honest about travel distances matters.

The nearest towns in the same council area are Helensburgh (8 miles) and Rothesay (10 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Greenock (7 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Largs (11 miles), Dumbarton (14 miles), Johnstone (18 miles) and Erskine (18 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

Within Dunoon itself, we build for businesses in Kirn, Hunters Quay, Sandbank, Innellan and Toward.

Dunoon (postcode area PA) sits about 366 miles north of Exeter.
