In stories, islands and buried treasure go together. Stories can sometimes turn into reality. The amazing Ascog Hall Fernery on the Isle of Bute is a real (semi) buried treasure on an island. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bute/ascoghallfernery/index.html

🏛✨ Le Marble Hall de Mount Stuart House, sur l’île de Bute, a ce genre d’élégance qui donne l’impression qu’un palais et une cathédrale ont décidé de collaborer.

Marbre, colonnes, lumière, démesure savamment orchestrée… tout semble pensé pour en mettre plein les yeux sans jamais perdre en raffinement.
Un intérieur si spectaculaire qu’on s’attend presque à voir entrer un duc, un fantôme, ou les deux.

This was one of my favourite pictures from my recent holiday in Scotland. I realised that I'm drawn towards trees and water when looking through the pictures I took. If you get the chance I recommend seeing Mount Stuart as it was an amazingly decorated stately home with the family's passions and interests on show

Truffle Cultivation on Isle of Bute Marks a Breakthrough for UK Island Agriculture

I get the concern, but it’s a bit simplistic to write off truffles completely. Rural areas do need real jobs, sure, but innovation like this can diversify income streams. It’s not just about fancy food for the elite; it could create opportunities over time.
