Isle Of Bute
The Isle of Bute, called Bute, is an island in the Firth of Clyde in Scotland, UK. It is divided into highland and also lowland locations by the Highland Boundary Fault. Formerly a constituent island of the larger County 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 decrease of just over 10% from the figure of 7,228 recorded in 2001 versus a history of Scottish island populations all at once expanding by 4% to 103,702 for the very same period. The name "Bute" is of unclear beginning. Watson and Mac an Tàilleir assistance a derivation from Old Irish bót ("fire"), maybe in reference to signal fires. This referral to beacon fires may date from the Viking duration, when the island was most likely known to the Norse as Bót. Various other possible derivations include Brythonic budh ("corn"), "triumph", St Brendan, or both, his reclusive cell. There is no likely derivation from Ptolemy's Ebudae. The island was also recognized throughout the Viking age as Rothesay, possibly referring to the personal name Roth or Roderick and the Old Norse suffix ey ("island"). This name was at some point taken by the primary town on the island, whose Gaelic name is Baile Bhòid ("town of Bute").
