description

The two identical buildings date from the late 19th century. They were built in a closed construction directly on the road and partly point, as the opposite side of the road is partially undeveloped, directly to the coast of Loch Indaal , which is about 100 m away , on which Port Charlotte is located. The Campbell Houses are traditionally built on areas of 10.5 × 9 m 2 each . On the ground floor there is another floor, which then ends with a slate-covered gable roof . The facades are plastered using the traditional Harling technique.
