Mount Stuart House on the east coast of the Isle of Bute, Scotland, is a Gothic Revival country house and the ancestral home of the Marquesses of Bute. It was designed by Sir Robert Rowand Anderson for the 3rd Marquess of Bute in the late 1870s,[1] replacing an earlier house by Alexander McGill, which burnt down in 1877.
The house is the seat of the Stuarts of Bute, derived from the hereditary office "Steward of Bute" held since 1157. The family are direct male-line descendants of John Stewart, the illegitimate son of King Robert II of Scotland, the first Stuart King, by his mistress, Moira Leitch. By virtue of this descent, they are also descendants of Robert the Bruce, whose daughter Marjorie was mother of Robert II by her marriage to Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland.

NT Roadtrip - This was a common view for much of the trip, although the roadside scenery does change a bit. Now wish I'd stopped a few more times to capture the different surroundings. Great road to set the cruise control to 155kph and cruise for a couple of hours. Spent many days on bushwalks and sightseeing, and still covered 7,500 kilometres in 12 days.
