Another Island Checked off the List

On Wednesday I had the fantastic opportunity to accompany the Ochils Landscape Partnership on a trip to Bute, just off the west coast of Scotland to meet with the Bute Landscape Partnership and have a trip round the island. Given that it was a damp (yet dry) October morning and I set off just after 6 in the morning, I went with an open mind and minimum expectation.

The island itself was very pretty, albeit for the presence of one or two structures, however the people and the hospitality reflected what I see as a strong community spirit, a baseline for the success of the partnership.

I took around 60 photos, so here are a couple I would like to share.

The top one is an unknown beach, second the Church of St. Blane and the last one is the 'airport' with the runway getting its grass cut!
