Dunoon to Holy Loch Pier Drive

[@elfdobby1]

Wow!! The drive from Dunoon through the highland road to HolyLoch Tok me back 40 years!! Walked that road many times - back and forth from 1978-80. Was on The holland AS32. Saw in the comments a MP from that time. Made me ponder if HE was the one that brought me back to the Holland, when I got so drunk in 79 I threatened to blow up the ship??!! Hey, I was a drunk 19 year old LOL.

[@michaelschultz5420]

My dad was stationed there..'82-'84...Paul Schultz on the Hunley ..I was 9-10 yrs old ...great time

[@waynecrowell5067]

Thanks for the ride down memory lane. I was there 1983 - 1986 USS Henry Clay SSBN 625B

A-Frog Gold '79-'81, AS-33 W-2 '90? to Site closure...when I reported onboard one of my lads had found himself in possession of a Schrader valve tool, and deflated a number of car tires on his inebriated perambulation along the High Road. Good kid, really, and certainly no worse than I was at his age in Rota. Love Scotland and the people there, although I was occasionally accused of not understanding English. Walked every one of those hills.

[@jackmaverick5481]

I was stationed right here on the USS Canopus AS-34 in 1972.

[@vinceguerin7068]

AHOY! I was in the HT damage control shop USS Hunley AS-31 from 82 to 83.Had a blast with the locals and crew

[@timsebastian5758]

Great video! I remember this ride well. Was on Canopus in 70-71. Loved the people and the country.

[@xmas8155]

man you did a great job taking me down memory lane, once you got out at the old Shore Patrol / Ministry of Defense shack at the end of the pier, i was hoping you might head across the street to the enlisted man's club and snack bar,, when i was on Shore Patrol, i spent many a night at that club breaking up fights... (USS Holland 1979-1981)

[@JOCKMCKAY760]

Taxi drivers took the piss.

[@philfurney4323]

Planning a trip back soon, was there on the Uss Canopus from May 74 till we left for the state's the end of 75, I was Chaplain Dolaghan's yoeman

[@crinkenberg711]

lived there when my dad was on the USS Canopus in the late 60's/early 70's :)

[@Billkuhn8]

I remember those long drunk walks as well. I remember having to cross the bridge to the Ferry when the tide was out was super scary. Never seen such a drastic tide change like that before.

[@Billkuhn8]

I was there between 86-88 on the USS John Adams.

[@mylist9759]

Was there from 1986-1988 worked on yfnb31 boat ops and floating crane. Such good memories.

[@scrawface]

Polk 645 blue and combined '89-'91 specific memory of that cab ride when we drank all of our money up and had no money for the cabby. He said "F*** it! Be off with ya!". I can still hear it in my brain said with an agitated Scottish accent today. It does not bring about a sense of pride when I think of how I represented the US and myself when I was there in my youth.

[@stevenkloppenburg4380]

I remember that pier and those hills. USS Sam Houston SSBN 609B

[@Clell65619]

Wow, the price of a taxi ride from Dunoon to the pier has really gone up in the last 30 years.

[@jimpittman6135]

87-92 Simon Lake. Miss that place. Need to plan a visit soon myself. Was the Ardenadam complex still there?

[@bofwappy]

Love the video was there as a kid from 85 to 87. You have any video of eagle court housing or can you pan and see where the base used to be.

[@johngray8651]

Eagle court is now called Sandhaven and can be viewed on google maps.

[@jerrywilson4033]

JD Wilson BM3 Crane ops. USS Holland AS32 cross decked USS Hunley AS31 Good lord, those points of beer would make ya smile. Got there July 80 left Jan 83. I was 17 when I got there. 20 when I left.

Nov. 81....missile dropped on the sub. Anyone remember that day. I do. Best wishes to all.

[@illiamway9542]

I used to live in Holy Loch in a tiny cottage before moving to navy housing.It was named Mingary (spell check)Cottage next door to a hotel across the street from a fishing pier not sure if that's the same pier . I went to Strone Primary School up the hill. We moved back to the US in 1992. is the cottage and or hotel still there?

[@georgialove3555]

Yes, both cottage and hotel (now just a pub and fine dining restaurant) are still there. Here is a link to it on Google Maps - you can see your old home www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.9838722,-4.9039317,3a,75y,74.91h,89.73t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1seUwOCQ5wAxAuv_kozu3LbQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
