What's On

The Cowal Highland Games, held every August in Dunoon, is a very popular event where you can enjoy events to entertain the whole family; Pipe Bands, Ceilidhs, Highland Dancing, Heavy Athletics, Races, Shinty, children’s events and a host of local produce from crafts to food and drink. www.cowalgathering.com.

2012 Also sees Dunoon host the Royal National Mòd between 12 & 19 October. The Royal National Mòd is organised by An Comunn Gàidhealach (The Highland Association) which was founded in Oban in 1891 and has HM The Queen as its Patron. Famous for celebrating our Gaelic linguistic and cultural heritage, Scotland's premier Gaelic festival provides opportunities for people of all ages to perform across a range of competitive disciplines including Gaelic music and song, highland dancing, instrumental, drama, sport and literature.

Cowalfest is also held each October - a walking and arts festival offering guided walks full of history, wildlife and intrigue as well as biking, concerts, food and exhibitions. www.cowalfest.org
