Customer Reviews

An Excellent Book. Beautiful Pictures and Lovely Words
I bought one copy last summer and I have now had to buy many more copies for family and friends. Seldom does a book so capture the "feel" of its subject. Though nothing can beat a trip to Bute, this book is the best "virtual alternative" I have seen to date.

Fantastic Book!
I learnt so much about Bute from this great little book! It was an enjoyable book to read with lots of interesting facts. Would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in finding out about Bute both past and present day. Beautiful photographs as well.
