Det bor 7.228 personer (2001) på denne øya som ligger i Irske sjøen. Det vi har sett er mye jordbruk og fiske. Dette er nok også en øy hvor det er gode rekreasjonsmuligheter. Her litt av historien til øya Isle of Butes hentet fra Wikipedia:
Later during the Viking period the island was known as Rothesay , a name deriving from a personal name and Old Norse ey, 'an island'. This name eventually came to refer to the main town on the island, which was later also known in Gaelic as Baile Bhòid, or in Scots the toun of Bute in the sixteenth century - that is to say 'the town of the island of Bute'. It was, indeed, the only town on the island. But the town itself has never actually been called 'Bute'. After the Viking period the island was not granted to the Lord of the Isles, as were most of the islands off Scotland's west coast. Instead Bute became the personal property of the Scottish monarchy.
