Kirn is a village in Argyll and Bute in the Scottish Highlands on the west shore of the Firth of Clyde on the Cowal peninsula. It now forms part of the continuous habitation between Dunoon and Hunters Quay, where the Holy Loch joins the Firth of Clyde. It originally had its own pier, with buildings designed by Harry Edward Clifford in 1895, and was a regular stop for the Clyde steamer services, bringing holidaymakers to the town, mostly from the Glasgow area.

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.

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.

Dunoon (; Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Omhain [t̪un ˈo.ɪɲ]) is the main town on the Cowal peninsula in the south of Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is located on the western shore of the upper Firth of Clyde, to the south of the Holy Loch and to the north of Innellan. As well as forming part of the council area of Argyll and Bute, Dunoon also has its own community council. Dunoon was a burgh until 1976.The early history of Dunoon often revolves around two feuding clans: the Lamonts and the Campbells. Dunoon was a popular destination when travel by steamships was common around the Firth of Clyde; Glaswegians described this as going doon the watter. This diminished, and many holidaymakers started to go elsewhere as roads and railways improved and the popularity of overseas travel increased. In 1961, during the height of the Cold War, Dunoon became a garrison town to the United States Navy. In 1992, shortly after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, they closed their Holy Loch base in Sandbank, and neighbouring Dunoon suffered an economic downturn. Since the base's closure, the town and surrounding area are again turning to tourism, marketing to outdoor enthusiasts and wildlife lovers, as well as promoting festivals and competitions. The largest annual event held in the town is the Cowal Highland Gathering, which has been held since 1894. The Royal National Mòd has also been held in the town.
