Scope and Content Craigmore developed as a destination for the wealthier residents and visitors to Rothesay during the 19th century. It consists of detached and semi-detached villas set in medium to large-sized plots along the shoreline. Its development was restricted by Common Hill rising steeply behind. Most of the villas along the shoreline on Mount Stuart Road display features reminiscent of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, a very common feature in Craigmore. This group of modern houses and flats at 1-22 Craignethan have been designed to incorporate modern versions of these features, including the shallow-pitched roofs with deep overhanging eaves, the use of ironwork on the balconies to some first-floor windows (although plain rather than decorative) and the 'drum' towers on some of the properties. This style has been adopted in other individual house developments elsewhere in Rothesay, including at 15a High Road in Ardbeg Area of Townscape Character.
