History

It remained in Dumbarton District until 1996 when it was transferred to Argyll and Bute with the rest of the peninsula. In common with many villages in the area, Cove provided summer lodgings for the families of wealthy Glasgow merchants, shipowners and businesspeople in the 19th century.

Houses by Alexander "Greek" Thomson around Cove include: Knockderry Castle, Craigrownie Castle, Glen Eden, Craig Ailey, Ferndean and Seymour Lodge, all dating from the 1850s.…
