Mount Stuart House Island of Bute

This is the magnificent architectural fantasy of the 3rd Marques of Bute 1847-1900. The Marble Hall with the azure-vaulted roof and constellations. Zodiac windows with crystal stars beaming down like streaming comets onto the walls and floors.

• The Marble staircase takes you to the upper bedrooms and Horoscope Room. The vaulted ceilings with thousands of stars,
• twinkling as the sunlight catches each crystal. The master bedroom with painted freeze on the life of St Margaret and finally
• The Marble Chapel and Russian Icons. This is Scotland's Sistine Chapel.
