Bute pulls off a rare trick — it feels a world away, yet it’s only a hop from Glasgow. Coastal views, fresh air, easy connections. Bute really is that simple. Loved this piece from @countryfilemagazine 👉 Full read in bio #IsleOfBute #Scotland #RothesayPavilion

The Pavilion, but pocket-sized! Meet Gavin of Abacus Model Makers, the talent behind our miniature modernist icon. “It was a joy to model such an important piece of Scottish heritage. The building was visionary in 1938 and still feels it today.” #bauhaus #architecture #scotland

People talk about “the dance hall” and for good reason! But the "Pav" has always been more than one room. As we work toward reopening, we’re restoring its role as a space for community, culture & possibility. Swipe for a glimpse inside + a “before” shot #Bute #DanceHall #heritage
