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. Several of the large houses have either been converted or have gone. 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.[2]
Craigrownie Parish Church, which was completed in 1852, serves the communities of Ardpeaton, Cove and Kilcreggan.[5] The church hall, which was built as a church for the United Presbyterian Church and was completed in 1869, is a building at risk.[6]Cove Burgh Hall was completed in 1893.[7]
