yes Pam !
The human occupation of Bute dates from prehistoric times. The Queen of the Inch necklace is an article of jewellery made of jet found in a cist that dates from circa 2000 BC.
Bute lies in the Firth of Clyde, The western side of Bute is known for its beaches, many of which enjoy fine views over the Sound of Bute towards Arran and Bute's smaller satellite island Inchmarnock.
"The history of Bute civilization is quite old and dates from ancient times. For thousands of years, Isle of Bute has being treasured by its people. This wonderful island has witnessed the arrival of hunters and gatherers, from the time when ice glaciers were retreated. Then its history continues to Stone Age, and Bronze Age, then into iron ages. Bute island has welcomed kings and invaders of Scotland from time to time. The necklace of Queen of Inch that was found I a cist on a farm dates back past 2000 BC. The jewelry was made from jet and was discovered in a cist. Gaelic people settled here and made it home"
Im hoping an ancient civilization will hold true.
