What is recorded here
37a Castle Street in Port Bannatyne, Bute, is a detached twentieth-century house that also served as a police house and police station. It is the kind of ordinary island building where public duty and domestic life shared one roof, one doorway and one set of windows watching the street. Whatever happened inside remains private, but the address still carries that dual purpose: a home that answered calls, and a police post that watched over the neighbourhood.
