Have many Great memories of this Great Little town being stationed on Submarines in the early 80s. Really enjoyed the history, culture and food! Thanks for uploading this video as it brought back memories.
My dad was in the US Navy and stationed here. I was born in Dunoon. Thank you for this video. Very beautiful! Reach out to me if anyone enlisted during the 60’s.
You were most likely born at the Rankin maternity hospital? I was born and raised in Greenock. Remember well when the U.S. nuclear submarines were stationed at Dunoon . My best friend married her husband who was stationed there.They moved to Louisiana after his time was up in Dunoon. It’s a small world. I live in Canada now. Yesterday I met someone who was on a cruise that stopped in Greenock! Usually no one knows where Greenock is!
I was stationed on Canopus in 70-71. Used. To go to Dunoon alot. Beautiful place and warm and friendly people there. Very well put together video! Thank you!
I worked there about 14 years ago for serveral month on the Countrside as a Locum Out of Hours Emergency Servide Doctor. Only Night - and Weekend Shifts. I was stationed at a lttle cottage in the wodds. Calls by night were an amazing adventure. Hale, heavy rain, storm. Sometimes it was scary to slip of the rood into the water. Once a week I went to the Dunoon Hospital to get new materials and supplys and then grocery shopping downtown. These were almost the only time I met other people. Very interesting and challenging time. Altough I became friends with the village police men and we had coffee every morning at the little convenience store. Everything was like being in a movie.
Where is everybody? I remember, back in the 60s, the place was so busy. We had a wee house in St Andrews Square, called Glenartny, every school holidays we would be doon the watter. Magical memories
I still treasure my Dunoon coffee set and 11:30 canisters even though the pottery was moved from there years ago. It's a William Morris pattern. I love Scotland with all my heart.
@@shooterwashere2520 Sorry I couldn't help you more. But I will say that it was the most popular place in town on weekend nights, and I had a lot of fun there.
Good edit, it makes it look like less of a shit hole. After the Americans left it slowly started declining. Now it's just a shell of what of and should of been.
I visited Dunoon for the first time since 1985 last October. Sadly quite a shadow of its former self. Still a nicely situated town but it's lost its charm since the sub base closed.
The council isn't into keeping the grass cut, especially around Highland Mary. Most locals gardens are like a bowling green but, city owned property not so much. Dunoon was a very quaint small town back in day.
Salamat sa latest video ng Dunoon bro. There was a submarine base there but were closed in '92. I was there as a US Navy and we close the base. Nice to see Dunoon again. Baka makabalik pagkatapos ng Covid lockdown. I used to swim at the public pool there right by the pier. Do you know if is still there?
Kumusta ka? My dad was also in the US Navy patrolling submarines. I was born in Dunoon. He was enlisted in the 60’s. By chance did you serve during that time?
My dad retired in the states. I went back 10 years ago and seen some beautiful sites including the sterling castle. It nice to hear these experiences from others.
Thank you for sharing. This is my childhood home town from many years ago. Still miss it.

@@shooterwashere2520 no night club but there was a small fish n chips place on the left of the pier.
7 patrols in the 70's. First stop on shore was fish and chips at a shop on John Street. Loved that town.
Anselmo's Fish Bar. I ate there a lot. Did 8 patrols on Henry Clay Gold from 82-86.
I too was there 83-86. Much nicer than being stateside. Miss it sometimes.
I was hoping you would swing by the Victoria Bar on Hillfoot St......that was our favorite watering hole. I did two refits there in 1978.
wow! Clean and colorful.. ang Ganda po nag place mabubusog ang mga mata s mga magagandang tanawin.
thank you po sir sa free tour 🙏 team replay here

What a beautiful town!!! Hope that one day I can go there.
My dad was in the US Navy. Stationed there in the late 80's. My twin brother and i were born in Greenock. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I lived their and worked for gibsons tv in the late 60s great video !
I was there 80-81 as a civilian "yard bird", refitting the cranes on the Los Alamos. Loved every moment of it.
@@shooterwashere2520 Yes. The nightclub was actually on the pier.
@@shooterwashere2520 No, I don't have any, but googling "Dunoon Pier" turns up quite a few.

@@shooterwashere2520 OTOH, the pictures that I see now look just like I remember it.
I was stationed on the USS Los Alamos AFDB-7 from June 1981-Dec 1982
Looking forward to this Bro.. isa naman Tsak Magandang Place Ito..
Much of the world runs to the future - Dunoon just walks, slowly.
I was a yr tTiobed on the use Holland in 1976-79. This brought back memories indeed

No I started serving in the Navy in 85. Did your dad retired in Dunoon? I love to go back there for a visit some day.
My dad retired in the states. I went back 10 years ago and seen some beautiful sites including the sterling castle. It nice to hear these experiences from others.
