    I'm glad you enjoyed them. Dunoon ranks right up there on my list of favorite places.

    HERE is a Web cam you will doubtless enjoy, as well.

    And a still image from the same location -



    You doubtless recognized the Bell's of Dunoon logo in the Clan Lamont banner, in that first image in the first post, eh?

    For those who are curious, Bell's is the main clothing shop and purveyor of fine highland wear in town. While I picked up sweaters (jumpers), socks and a Polaris tartan tie there, ownership of a tank was beyond my means (and imagination) at the time of my residency.

    Another great Dunoon related link is the weekly on-line edition of the Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard, even if you've never been there, it provides a peak of small town life in Scotland, warts and all.

    Best regards,

    And if you're in town, Bell's is well worth the visit!
