Bute Sons & Daughters

Who do you think you are?  If you are researching your Bute ancestry then Bute Sons & Daughters could provide you with valuable information to help you in your research. 

Like much of Western & Highland Scotland the Island of Bute has witnessed the gradual depletion of its population to the current level of around 7000. Now, instead of a large island population we have a massive off-island population, many of whom still like to keep in touch with their spiritual homeland.

The Bute Sons & Daughters project aims to develop Bute’s genealogy strands, not only in terms of family histories but also our local heritage. Within these pages we have compiled some interesting articles, facts and anecdotes gathered from various sources on the island, including members of Bute’s population. Some of this information will stir nostalgic memories of bygone Bute and some may help budding genealogists in their quest for family roots.
