What is recorded here
Craigmore stands on Ardencraig Road in Rothesay, Bute, preserving a detached house, boundary walls and garden terraces from the 19th century. Its stones mark a private domestic landscape rather than a public monument, yet they still shape the edge between road, garden and memory. The exact survey point reaches within one metre, sharp enough to picture the terrace dropping beside the wall and the house waiting behind its own boundary.
