What is recorded here
Castle Street in Rothesay cuts through Bute as a lived town space, not a buried ruin. People may have walked past shops, homes and church doors for generations, measuring daily life against the castle shadow rather than displaying ancient stones. The street exists to serve the town, while the castle gives the town its name.
