Creating the Fantasy
The Buildings Of The 3rd Marquess of Bute

Mount Stuart on the Isle of Bute is the finest surviving gothic revival house in the United Kingdom. It was home to the third Marquess of Bute, the greatest architectural patron of the age, and its creation involved some of the finest architects, designers and craftsmen working in Victorian Britain.

Andrew McLean is former Head of Collections at Mount Stuart. Following his time in the north east with the National Trust he is now Head Curator of the National Railway Museum in York.
