Blackrock Cottages is a former military settlement located on a significant military road in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cottages represent eighteenth-century military infrastructure, constructed in association with the network of roads and strategic routes developed by the British state following the Jacobite uprisings. The site reflects the broader programme of military occupation and control of the Scottish Highlands during the post-1746 period, when such roads served both defensive and administrative purposes. The physical remains document the modest domestic structures that housed military personnel and their families in this remote region.
