Isle Of Bute
The Isle of Bute, known as Bute, is an island in the Firth of Clyde in Scotland, UK. It is split into highland as well as lowland locations by the Highland Boundary Fault. Formerly a constituent island of the bigger Region of Bute, it is currently part of the council location of Argyll and also Bute. Bute's resident population was 6,498 in 2011, a decline of just over 10% from the figure of 7,228 recorded in 2001 against a history of Scottish island populations all at once expanding by 4% to 103,702 for the same duration. The name "Bute" is of unsure origin. Watson and Mac an Tàilleir assistance a derivation from Old Irish bót ("fire"), maybe in reference to signal fires. This recommendation to beacon fires may date from the Viking duration, when the island was most likely understood to the Norse as Bót. Other feasible derivations include Brythonic budh ("corn"), "victory", St Brendan, or both, his reclusive cell. There is no most likely derivation from Ptolemy's Ebudae. The island was also recognized throughout the Viking era as Rothesay, perhaps referring to the personal name Roth or Roderick and the Old Norse suffix ey ("island"). This name was at some point taken by the major town on the island, whose Gaelic name is Baile Bhòid ("community of Bute").
