Farms and Other Places on the Isle of Bute

Below are listed a number of farms and other places on the Isle of Bute, with direct connections to the various Jamiesons who lived on Bute, or were somehow connected with the island. This includes farms, towns, hamlets, places of interest and anything else needing a location.

Note: Much of the place information available today comes from nineteenth century documents, like the 1855-1864 Ordinance Survey Name Books. This was a time after most of the Jamieson families had left Bute, at least the important and land owning Jamiesons. Therefor some details regarding the particulars of any one 'place' may differ a little for that during the time (1200s - mid 1800s) the Jamiesons were a big deal on the Island.
