Live on Bute

Bute is a unique Scottish island, bustling throughout the typical tourist season from April until October, then relaxing into a quieter few months where festive activities and family time takes over. The locals are friendly and the housing stock varied and interesting. Voted in 2022 by The Sunday Times as 'The best place to live in the UK', the judges looked at a variety of factors including schools, house prices and the fact that the island of Bute was 'head and shoulders above all other Scottish islands for commutability'. Yet statistics can never validate the community feeling of the island, whether you can live car free or are there any community groups for you? (There are). Does the island offer a multifaceted approach to multigenerational family living? (It does). Fortunately for some, Bute can become a permanent base with many careers being worked remotely.  Start your new home search here.
