add Cowal as house is on the Cowal Peninsula. There is an editor who removes any mention of Cowal. They have been doing this for years? They never leave this in edit summaries either!
Tag: Reverted

No need to stress that the house is on Cowal peninsula when the village it is located in is already on the same peninsula.
