What is recorded here
Ballochroy is a twentieth-century schooner in Argyll and Bute, recorded only as a point near Dumbarton Castle, Kintyre and the Atlantic. The name strings together distant places, suggesting a vessel that carried people or memory between them rather than a fixed home. Its small size and maritime identity leave room for wonder about who built it, where it sailed and what they valued enough to preserve.
