Formerly a basic island of the larger Region of Bute, it is now part of the council area of Argyll and also Bute.

The name "Bute" is of uncertain beginning. Watson as well as Mac an Tàilleir assistance a derivation from Old Irish bót ("fire"), perhaps of signal fires. This referral to beacon fires may date from the Viking duration, when the island was most likely recognized to the Norse as Bót.
