Book description

This fascinating biography tells the story of a rich eccentric, whose learning, insight and kindness produced extraordinary results in architecture and life, a man who combined being amongst the richest men of the age with artistic patronage of an almost incomprehensible scale.
Rosemary Hannah first became interested in the third Marquess of Bute when she lived on the island of Bute. Whilst working as a guide at Mount Stuart she gained exceptional first-hand knowledge of the building. In 2000 she was awarded a PhD degree from the University of Durham for a thesis on the third marquess. She is currently Church History co-ordinator for the Theological Institute of the Scottish Episcopal Church and lives in Ayrshire.
