Lesson plan
Rosneath
Rosneath ( ) is a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. A 2025 study declared it to be a town but this is controversial. It sits on the western shore of the Gare Loch, northwest of Rosneath Point at the tip of the Rosneath Peninsula, where the loch meets the Firth of Clyde. The village is about by road from the village of Kilcreggan, which is sited further west on the southern shore of the peninsula. The Gare Loch narrows at Rosneath to under half a mile (around 600 metres) at a place known as the Rhu Narrows, after the village of Rhu on the eastern shore of the loch. Rosneath Bay to the south of the village curves eastward to Castle Point, near the site of the former Roseneath Castle, in the grounds of the former Rosneath House which was in the area now occupied by Rosneath caravan park. The coast turns south past Culwatty Bay to Rosneath Point at the tip of the peninsula, and this whole area formed the site of Rosneath naval base during WW2. Rosneath Point is directly north of Greenock Ocean Terminal which occupies the site of the former Greenock Princes Pier and railway station complex, distant on the southern shore of the Firth.
