Our Summer events schedule for 2026 has arrived- from craft workshops to a guided walk showcasing Dunoon’s female trailblazers, there’s something for everyone! This year we are celebrating 130 years since the statue of Highland Mary was unveiled on Castle Hill. 

​

• Our free embroidery workshops on Saturday 25th July and 1st August from 1pm to 3pm are open to both experienced and first time embroiderers, and will be relaxed sessions with textile artist Katie. Come along and help embellish a collage of Highland Mary’s history, created by members of the local community.

​

• We will be welcoming Iona back to Castle House on Sunday 26th of July to lead the ‘Dunoon’s Female Trailblazers’ Tour, celebrating the remarkable women that have called our town home (including Mary herself). This will leave from Castle House at 1pm. Attendance is free but a small donation towards the Museum is always greatly appreciated.

​

• The banner will be officially unveiled on Saturday 15th August, and will proudly be displayed in the Museum. We’d love to see you there!

​

Thank you to the Hugh Fraser Foundation for kindly supporting these workshops.
