What is recorded here

Kilchrist Castle, Garden House and Stables belong to Argyll and Bute, where a garden house and stables still stand beside the castle shadow. The exact date escapes memory, but the shapes suggest people who kept horses clean and grew food close enough to watch the sky change. Perhaps a rider once stood at the stable door with reins damp from rain, listening for the castle bell. That much is not written, yet the place still sounds like it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilchrist Castle, Garden House and Stables as Garden House (period Unassigned), Stable(s) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Kilchrist Castle, Garden House and Stables were built in the 18th or 19th century by an unidentified local landowning family, likely as a rural estate complex. The site is remembered for its historical association with Scottish landed gentry and as an example of domestic and agricultural architecture from that period.
