    Hello, friends! If you enjoyed the video and wanted to support my channel, I've just started a "Buy me a Coffee" (in my case it would be tea) page which I'll link here: buymeacoffee.com/shawnaexplores but please don't feel any pressure to, the fact you're here and watching already means so much to me 🥰

    Absolutely loved this. My grandparents had their honeymoon here 70 years ago! Now they are both there for eternity as it was their last wish. Bute is absolutely beautiful.

    7:14, 8:32 Thank you for the reminder. I need to slow down, pause and enjoy/appreciate the architecture of these buildings and essential infrastructure.
    9:15 to 11:40 Am enjoying the ferry experience.
    14:40 What beautiful faces and smiles!
    I can easily spend a week on the Isle of Bute. Thank you for this trip.

    Loved the video. Bute is a wonderful Island. Next time try visit St Blane's chapel at the South of the island, then go to Kingarth Hotel for fantastic food. Stunning beach at Kilchattan Bay. Really is a stunning place.

    Lovely video, but i bet you had a sore back on those beds in the glenburn😂
    I stayed there but found the beds to be extremely hard😮
    Shame you didn't hire a couple of bicycles you could have seen much more, popped into the pencil box, got yourself some lovely tablet 🤤 or a book .
    We go back often, but self-catering is probably the best as we struggled to find a decent place to eat.

    Hey! Nice to see another vlogger from the Edinburgh area!😁 We're going to Bute for the first time next month- looks so beautiful and peaceful! Actually going to be staying at the same hotel as you did- the Glenburn!😂 What did you think of it? Thanks for your video!😊

      Thanks for letting me know 😊 I think we did try to visit but we didn't have the right shoes and it had been pouring the night before but we're hoping to revisit Bute again soon as we also missed out on visiting Mount Stuart as it was closed.

      I can't quite remember which site we booked the hotel on but once I did some research on Isle of Bute hotels and decided I liked the look of the place, I looked on different websites like Booking.com to find the best deal :)
