Information
The Beautiful island of Bute is only one and a half hours from Glasgow, but a million miles away in charm and atmosphere.
The island is only fifteen miles long and four miles wide, but a wide variety of flora and fauna can be discovered on this charming island. Porpoises, Ospreys and Seals are just some of the wildlife you may see while visiting. Certain areas in the north of the island in the Community Forest have been registered as Sites of Special Scientific Interest due to their biodiversity, which is unique to Bute.
Apart from the wildlife, Bute also has an abundance of glorious gardens and grand architecture. Mount Stuart is the most famous visitor attraction, but a visit to the Victorian Fernery in Ascog, which features a unique collection of ferns and gardens with a huge variety of exotic and rare plants and trees, is a must see, as are The Esplanade Gardens on the front
If you’re looking for a variety of fine restaurants, bars, and shops etc., head for Rothesay, and Port Bannatyne, where you won’t be disappointed.
All in all, this beautiful island of Bute has to be added to your bucket list, you might even think you have died and gone to heaven.

The SCOTTISH HONKY-TONK, also referred to as the SHT or SKONK, is located on the stunning Isle of Bute, just outside Rothesay, featuring country, blues, and rock music, various moonshines from Kentucky and South Carolina and a sizeable assortment of whiskies and other delectable beers and booze!
A HONKY-TONK is a US southern bar that provides country and blues music for the entertainment of its patrons, and the style of music played in such establishments. Bars of this kind were, and are, common in the South and Southwest United States. Before World War II, the music industry began to refer to hillbilly music being played from Texas and Oklahoma to the West Coast as “honky-tonk” music. In the 1950s, honky-tonk entered its golden age.

Both women have spent the last twenty years designing and working around interiors and gardens.

We were staying on Bute and got the bus down to the ferry to Colintraive and walked up the hill( 10 minutes max) it is set in one of the most beautiful locations, and Karen Scotland who runs the Park is very nice.
It was well worth the visit and we had tea at Colintraive Hotel just by ferry terminal on the way back back to Bute, I am sure we will come back next year.
