An interesting cottage with some good detailing. Of particular note are the lying-pane glazing, round-arched stair, cast-iron uprights and overhanging timber eaves. Wood?s map marks this property "Glenfauld Cottage, Capt. Morison." Then, it appears the cottage was set within a large garden with a circular drive to the front. Listed separately from the Glenburn Hotel despite being set within its grounds.
Rothesay is one of Scotland's premier seaside resorts, developed primarily during the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, and incorporates an earlier medieval settlement. The town retains a wide range of buildings characteristic of its development as a high status 19th century holiday resort, including a range of fine villas, a Victorian pier and promenade.
The history and development of Rothesay is defined by two major phases. The development of the medieval town, centred on Rothesay Castle, and the later 19th and early 20th century development of the town as a seaside resort. Buildings from this later development, reflect the wealth of the town during its heyday as a tourist destination, and include a range of domestic and commercial architecture of a scale sometimes found in larger burghs. Both the 19th and early 20th century growth of the town, with a particular flourish during the inter-war period, included areas of reclaimed foreshore, particularly along the coast to the east of the town and around the pier and pleasure gardens.
