===Historical===

There is evidence of an [[episcopal seat]] at Dunoon from the latter part of the 15th century. No remains of the Bishop's Palace now exist, the site is now occupied by the playground of [[Dunoon Primary School]], between Hillfoot Street and Kirk Street.<ref>[https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/sites/default/files/final_dunoon_conservation_area_appraisal_and_management_plan_consultation_response_0.pdf DUNOON CONSERVATION AREA APPRAISAL and CONSERVATION STRATEGY, 2017] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200723230626/https://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk/sites/default/files/final_dunoon_conservation_area_appraisal_and_management_plan_consultation_response_0.pdf |date=23 July 2020 }} - Argyll & Bute Council</ref>
