Bute Museum

Situated in Rothesay, the independently run Bute Museum is the perfect place for visitors to learn about the natural and historical heritage of Bute. The extensive displays in The History & Archaeology Gallery cover aspects of Bute's History from Mesolithic and Neolithic times through to the 20th century. The Natural History Gallery allows visitors to explore the geology, plants, and the wildlife that can be found on the island. Therefore, the majority of the collections are focused on recording and preserving the Island's past and showing examples of the wildlife which might be seen there today.
