Venues

Tucked away on the corner of West Princes Street and Bishop Street in cosy surroundings, Bute’s only bookshop opened in 1997. Open seven days a week with over 4000 books in store, daily book deliveries and freshly ground coffee while you browse, a friendly welcome awaits locals and tourists alike.  This is where to buy and pick up your tickets for Bute Noir.

An independent local museum run by volunteers, the building was opened in 1926 and has two galleries and a library/meeting room. It may be small but it has one of the best local collections of any museum in the country. From items of international importance such as the Viking ‘Hostage Stone’ and a Bronze Age jet necklace to an 18th century beggar’s badge and a Victorian Punch and Judy, it tells the story of the people of Bute and the flora and fauna of the island.

Located within the Moat Centre, Stuart Street, Rothesay Library prides itself on being a vibrant community hub. Recently refurbished, the library offers a range of services including the Peoples Net Work, Wifi, Genealogy research, local history archives and of course books……lots and lots of books! Friendly staff are always delighted to inform and assist both local customers and visitors to the island.
