Bute Museum is an independently run museum charity where visitors can explore the Natural and Historical Heritage of the Isle of Bute. The National History Society and Bute Bird Group have very close links with the museum, and meetings of the group take place on alternate Tuesdays in the library at the museum premises from 7:30pm.
