Scope and Content Rothesay continued to expand along the shoreline during the 19th and early 20th century. Restricted by the rocky hill and Skeoch Wood to the north/north-west, this area takes a linear form running along the shoreline, with only the main road and the Bathing Place occupying the the narrowest strip of flat land. Rothesay was still a popular tourist destination well into the 20th century, as seen by the continuing expansion during the early 1900s. This pair of detached/semi-detached houses sits in an elevated position on a short cul-de-sac terrace overlooking the town centre and industrial area of Rothesay. Built in the mid-19th century, Havelock Terrace comprises a semi-detached villa (left), and detached villa. Both have been sub-divided into flats, with the upper storeys reached by curving, cast-iron-balustraded staircases on the rear elevation, seen here. Alma Terrace is the first of five cul-de-sac terraces built during the mid-19th century off the steeply sloping Ballochgoy Road leading up from the town centre. It consists of three villas, mostly now sub-divided, and is the longest of the terraces here, which are surrounded by 20th- and 21st-century local authority/housing association housing development.
