Before heading for the ferry back to the mainland after our visit to Mount Stuart House we decided to check out the Isle of Bute Discovery Centre, formerly the Winter Garden which sits within the well manicured esplanade gardens, note the palm trees!
The Winter Gardens started life as an open air bandstand (1895), it received its circular cover the early 1920s and its stage hosted top-ranking variety summer shows for many years for the many holiday makers who would venture 'doon the watter.'
The current Discovery Centre has a tourist information and visitor centre - plus a cinema and restaurant. It was a good way to end our visit to the island.
