What is recorded here
Bourtreehall Cottage stands beside Glenapp Castle in South Ayrshire, a small estate building caught in the shadow of a larger name. Its exact age and purpose have faded from memory, leaving behind a shape rather than a story. Perhaps it housed a keeper, a tenant, or a keeper of secrets the castle never admitted. The absence of facts does not diminish it; it invites imagination to fill the rooms.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Glenapp Castle, Bourtreehall Cottage as Estate Cottage (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
