Dunoon Stadium

The stadium sits right on Dunoon's waterfront, hard to miss if you're driving into town from the ferry terminal. It's the home of Dunoon FC, a proper community football club that's been knocking about since the 1880s, and on match days the place has genuine character - the kind of ground where you'll actually hear what people are shouting at the ref. The views across the Firth of Clyde are the real draw if you're honest. Even on a non-match day, it's worth a wander around the outside.

Football fans will find something to appreciate here, especially if you catch a league match. Families with kids keen on the beautiful game should budget a couple of hours on match days, though the actual match length is the standard ninety minutes plus whatever chaos unfolds. The town itself is just a short walk away, so you can grab food before or after without drama.

This isn't a major sports shrine - don't come expecting Hampden Park atmosphere or facilities. But if you're staying at Hunters Quay Holiday Village just up the road, or pitching at The Secret Glen Campsite a few miles out, and you want to catch some actual grassroots Scottish football rather than spend another afternoon shopping, it's a genuine option. The stadium's free to walk around, though match-day tickets will cost you. Best to check ahead on their social media for fixture dates and kick-off times.
