Since 2016/17 the government gave councils the power to apply an additional charge on top of Council Tax to provide more funding for adult social care services. The precept was introduced to ensure council services can support vulnerable residents and meet the increase in demand as our population ages. This additional funding has paid for: • Improving the accommodation offer for residents with learning disabilities. • More nursing beds for residents with dementia and or other complex needs. • Meeting the increased cost of care in care homes and people’s own homes. Cheques no longer accepted Cheques are no longer accepted at the Royal Borough as a form of payment. You will still be able to make payments to us for Council Tax, business rates or anything else using a credit or debit card or via bank transfer. 5 How much is your total bill?

    ASCOG HOUSE AND MEIKLE ASCOG, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE The history of the Ascog demesne goes back further than either of the two houses on it. In 1312 Robert the Bruce is said to have given Ascog to the Bute family of Glass. In 1594, the estate, including a mill, Loch Ascog and Nether and Over Ascog, was bought by John Stewart of Kilchattan, a distant kinsman of the Stewarts of Bute who became Earls and later Marquesses of Bute. Ascog House - John Stewart may have built the first house at Ascog, replacing an older tower. Despite the date of 1678 above one of the dormer windows, the original Ascog House was built earlier than that. With its stair tower and cap-house, it is of a type commonly built around 1600. In addition, in the wall of the present kitchen is part of a grand chimneypiece. This belonged to a great hall whose floor and ceiling were both at a higher level than today. In 1673 John Stewart of Ascog, grandson of the first John Stewart, married Margaret Cunningharn and it is their initials that are engraved on the house. They must have carried out a major reconstruction, lowering the floors to create two main storeys, and adding the dormer windows. John Stewart was rich enough to lend the Earl of Bute £9,385 to help re-build Rothesay Castle after damage in the Civil War. He was also crowner or coroner of Bute from 1666-98. During the 18th century, the original mullion windows of Ascog House were enlarged and fitted with sash and casement frames.
