Since the Trust’s formation in 1990, the volunteer Trustees and Members have been involved in many heritage projects on Bute.
In 2004 the Bute Conservation Trust initiated the Discover Bute Landscape Partnership Scheme as part of the Trust’s aim of conserving the natural, built and social heritage of Bute.
The Trust is always looking for members who want to be involved in Bute’s built and natural heritage.
