Dunoon Castle is a ruined castle in Dunoon on the Cowal Peninsula, in Argyll and Bute, west of Scotland. The castle sat upon a cone-shaped hill about 80 feet (24 m) high. Very little remains of the castle's structure today. Castle House, built in 1822, stands a few yards north of the castle ruins.[1]
The remains of the castle, and a surrounding area, are a scheduled monument.[2][3]
The castle was a royal residence in the 14th century, and in the 17th century fell into ruins.[4]
