What is recorded here
Castlehill Street in Rothesay, Bute, stands as a general view without a clear period, yet its stones and light suggest a lived-in place where people walked, traded or watched the harbour. The absence of a date does not reduce it; it widens the imagination. A woman may have carried butter to a inn kitchen, a child may have chased a cart wheel, or a stranger may have stood at the same corner wondering whether the town recognised him. The street keeps those possibilities alive because nobody has forced it into one narrow story.
