Old Kilmun House is an historic building on Midge Lane in Kilmun, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Now Category A listed, it was built, in the early 18th century, in foothills overlooking the Holy Loch from its northern shores.Historic Environment Scotland describes it as one of the most important buildings in the parish, and in a national sense due to its six-bay layout. "Few houses combine such classical features with an asymmetrical façade," they wrote. It is two storeys.Since its original construction, which reused stone from a 16th- or 17th-century building, it was extended to the rear in the 19th century, as well as an early 20th-century addition to its southwestern corner. In the second half of the 19th century, a large addition was made to its northwestern corner. The earlier parts of the building are of rubble with sandstone dressing, while the later block is fine ashlar.The garden and boundary walls are also of Category A listed status. To the west of this were two large buildings which had been demolished by the end of the 19th century. Part of the garden was used for the western edge of the cemetery of the adjacent Kilmun Parish Church and Argyll Mausoleum.

Kilmun (Scottish Gaelic: Cill Mhunna) is a linear settlement on the north shore of the Holy Loch, on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scottish Highlands.It takes its name from the 7th century monastic community founded by an Irish monk, St Munn (Fintán of Taghmon). The ruin of a 12th-century church still stands beside the Kilmun Parish Church and Argyll Mausoleum.

The Holy Loch (Scottish Gaelic: An Loch Sianta/Seunta) is a sea loch, a part of the Cowal peninsula coast of the Firth of Clyde, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The "Holy Loch" name is believed to date from the 6th century, when Saint Munn landed there after leaving Ireland. Kilmun Parish Church and Argyll Mausoleum is said to stand where Saint Munn's church was once located. Robertson's Yard at Sandbank, a village on the loch, was a major wooden boat building company in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During World War II, the loch was used as a British Royal Navy submarine base. From 1961 to 1992, it was used as a United States Navy ballistic missile submarine base. In 1992, the Holy Loch base was deemed unnecessary following the demise of the Soviet Union and subsequently closed.

Sandbank (Scottish Gaelic: an Oitir or Taigh a' Chladaich) is a village on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is located 2.5 miles (4 kilometres) north of Dunoon on the coastal A815 (low road) or the inland A885 (high road) and sits on the southern shore of the Holy Loch, branching off the Firth of Clyde.

Erected in 1922, the Lazaretto Point War Memorial (known colloquially as the Lazaretto Memorial) is located in the Scottish village of Ardnadam in Argyll and Bute. It stands, at the apex of sharp bend in the A815, around the midpoint of the southern shores of the Holy Loch. It was designed by Boston, Menzies & Morton, of Greenock, and unveiled on 14 May 1922. It commemorates the local soldiers who died during service in World War I and World War II.Mrs John Brown, of nearby Sandbank, performed the unveiling. Five of her sons served in the conflicts, one of whom was killed in action. Reverend A. MacDonald M.A., also of Sandbank, officiated at the ceremony.

Ardnadam Farm is the site of an ancient cromlech in the village of Ardnadam, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The relic was, according to popular tradition, the grave of a king who was named after Adam. Ardnadam Farm, located near Loch Loskin, was supposedly so-called in accordance with the tradition. The stones were later considered to be fragments of a Druidical altar.A nearby street is named Cromlech Road. It runs between Ardnadam's Ferry Road and High Road (the A885) in Sandbank.

Ardnadam (Scottish Gaelic: Àird nan Damh) is a village on the Holy Loch on the Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is located northwest of Hunters Quay and east of Sandbank, and sits across the loch from Kilmun.

Puck's Glen is a river-formed ravine on the Cowal peninsula in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, with a popular scenic walking trail beside the Eas Mòr stream (Gaelic for "big waterfall"). In 2020 the glen and adjoining trails were closed temporarily due to COVID-19 restrictions, issues of stability of the gorge, and felling of trees infected by larch disease.It comes under Forestry and Land Scotland which has highlighted it as a feature of the Argyll Forest Park (itself within the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park), and described it as "One of the most magical forests in Scotland, with a delightful trail along a rocky gorge."The stream tumbles down a series of waterfalls and rapids, joining the River Eachaig about 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi) south of the entrance to the Benmore Botanic Garden. A car park off the A815 road (about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Dunoon on the road to Loch Eck) gives access by a track to the foot of the glen path, as well as forest paths giving an alternative route to the top of the glen.

Hafton House (also known as Hafton Castle) is a Category B listed country house in Hunters Quay, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The property is located on the southern shores of the Holy Loch. It dates to the late 18th century, built to a design by David Hamilton, and it received its historic designation in 1971. It is two storeys, with a higher tower.One of its first owners was James Hunter (1814–1854). As of 1841, Hunter was living at Hafton "age 25 (sic), of independent means, with his wife [Eliza] and children, Eliza age 4, James age 3 and William age 4 months, as well as other Hunter relatives and 7 female servants". At least one other child — a daughter, Rosina Jane — was born later. James Hunter Sr. was still resident there in 1851, age 37. James Hunter Jr. purchased nearby Dunloskin Farm in the 1870s.In the 1870s, the property was 5,740 acres.The grounds also contain a gatehouse and a bridge.

Milton Burn is a watercourse in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is sourced from Loch Loskin in Kirn and largely runs parallel to the A885 road as it leads south to Dunoon. It is around 1.02 miles (1.64 km) long.It is crossed by several roads during its southward flow: Sandbank Road, Hamilton Street, Argyll Street, Pilot Street, Milton Road and George Street. It disappears beneath Alexandra Parade immediately before its discharge into the Firth of Clyde between Queen Street and Milton Road in Dunoon's East Bay. Milton Burn forms a natural little harbour in the lovely shore of Dunoon, then almost tenantless, and without visible habitations of man — but now studded with so many dwellings of kindness and comfort. East Bay was originally named Milton Bay by James MacArthur Moir, a miller who became laird of Milton. In 1884, the burn is mentioned as being crossed by Mill Street, which no longer exists. Milton Mill was situated on the burn between Milton Road and George Street. Milton was the name of the estate on which Dunoon was partly built.In 1885, The Scottish Law Reporter also wrote: Leading out of Dunoon there is a street now only partly formed, intersected by a burn called the Milton Burn, over which there was an old wooden bridge. This was considered dangerous, and was removed by the commissioners, and replaced by a stone bridge. In July 1989, the body of 25-year-old Gourock resident Joyce Hepburn was found in the burn near George Street. Hundreds of sailors stationed at the nearby Holy Loch were questioned by police, as many of them came ashore on leave every second Thursday after receiving their wages. Witnesses recalled seeing a male and a female arguing in George Street, above the point where Hepburn's body was later found. The body of Ivan Miller, Hepburn's fiancé and a United States Navy dental technician, was found a week later in the hills behind Dunoon. He had committed suicide.Eight months of flood prevention work began around the burn in June 2011. A culvert was connected to the burn via a weir, allowing water to be removed from the burn during and after heavy rainfall.A whisky distillery is believed to have stood beside the burn near where it is crossed by Argyll Street.The burn flows through Milton Burn Gardens, which was created on the eastern side of Argyll Street between Queen Street and John Street.

Loch Loskin is a freshwater loch in Ardnadam, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The outflow from the loch is the Milton Burn, which winds its way through Dunoon to the Firth of Clyde. The A885 from Sandbank known as the "High Road" locally passes the loch.
