Some years later I was shown how to do black and white processing and from then on I was hooked. I am a member of Inverclyde Camera Club, who are always encouraging and supportive and I have taken hundreds, if not thousands of photos on Bute since then, using slide, colour and monochrome film. The landscape of hills, lochs, sea, and woods and the abundance of birds, wild flowers and animals never fails to delight me. There is a variety not found in the more northerly islands and the ever-changing light means there are always more pictures to be seen.
Bute is only a half hour's ferry journey from the mainland, yet it has a character all of its own and most visitors return again and again.
