Discovery Centre

We missed the ferry..... but that gave us time to visit the Bute Discovery Centre. Note the beautiful iron work. The discovery centre was very interesting in terms of the history of the island but also told us a lot about what was going on there during the summer; jazz festivals, dances at the pavillion and tours of Mount Stuart. It's a shame that it is not such a popular tourist destination as it once was. Not surprising really considering the cheap flights available these days and so many people own cars that if they want to holiday in Scotland they could travel further.

I completely forgot to ask about the drift wood baton and the throwing event. I'm sure that someone at the discovery centre would have been able to give me some information.
