Product Description

Designed for the discerning tourist and island devotee, the "Pevensey Island Guide to Bute" describes everything the visitor needs to know about the island's heritage, landscape, climate, flora and fauna. Bute is an island in the Firth of Clyde, nestling against the ancient Gaelic heartland of Argyll, from which it is separated by the famously scenic Kyles of Bute. It is a beautiful island, with elements of the splendour of the Highlands and the more pastoral landscape of the Lowlands. The views south - to the mountains of Arran - are spectacular, while the flooded river valleys of the more sheltered Kyles have scenery best appreciated from the decks of a Clyde steamer. With pristine sandy beaches, an interesting and diverse landscape, and prehistoric sites, Bute is fascinating to explore. The text also gives useful information on services, facilities and places to visit.

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.
