What is recorded here
Mount Stuart House stands in Argyll and Bute as a castle, but the public map offers no story about its rooms, owners or the life that filled them. It is an empty marker, a name without a face. What is known is that it exists on the chart; what is lost is every hand that touched its walls and every lamp that burned in its windows.
Mount Stuart House is shown as a castle on the public map of Argyll and Bute. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Mount Stuart House was built by the Stuart family, specifically the 2nd Duke of Bute, in the 18th century, with significant expansion in the 19th century. It is important as a major example of Scottish Baronial architecture and as the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Bute.
