Counties of Great Britain, Buteshire

  • Buteshire (Rothesay, Millport, Brodick, Lochranza)

The county of Bute comprised the Isle of Bute together with Arran and some other small islands. The isle is separated from the mainland by the Kyles of Bute.

In the early part of the 20th Century it became a popular holiday resort for the people of Glasgow who flocked to the main town of Rothesay in the summer using the regular ferry services from Wemyss Bay on the Clyde coast.

It is now part of Argyll & Bute Council, except for Cumbraes, Kilbride and Kilmory which fall within North Ayrshire.
