Bonawe (Scots pronunciation: [boˈnɔː]; Scottish Gaelic: Bun Abha [puˈna.ə]) is a village in Ardchattan Parish Argyll and Bute, Scotland opposite Taynuilt on the north shore of Loch Etive, most famous for the shipping firm J & A Gardener's Bonawe Quarry - now owned by Breedon Aggregates Scotland Ltd (56°27′05″N 05°13′25″W / 56.45139°N 5.22361°W / 56.45139; -5.22361 (Bonawe Quarry)).

In those days there were stonemasons, drillers and miners extracting the stone and of course their families and support industries such as local shops, butchers, bowling greens, a cinema, bakeries and laundry.

Kenmore Cottages is a small village just 2 minutes away from the school and a 20-minute walk from the quarry.

The name is derived from Scottish Gaelic Bun Abha, meaning "the mouth of the River Awe".

Lorn Furnace or Bonawe Furnace is located across the loch, in Glenorchy and Innishail Parish, between the rivers Awe and Nant, close to Taynuilt Village in Muckairn Parish from which the Nant separates it.
