Picture Bute (incorporating PhotoPrints.tv) is a large shop and workshop situated by the harbour on the beautiful Isle of Bute, Scotland. It is owned and run by local wildlife photographer Philip Kirkham and his wife Anne. The shop stocks an impressive range of place mats, coasters, mugs, T shirts, and various other gifts with images of local scenery, views and wildlife; or to have a truly personalised gift, your own images can be used. Locally made crafts and fine arts, featuring original watercolours by Brian Large, Liz Wren, Jeff Worrall, and other local artists are on display. Some of the island made wooden crafts have to be seen to be believed! There is also a range of gifts with paintings of Highland Cattle by Ruth Slater.

They want people to look at the following - "Walking, wheeling, cycling, getting the bus or using other shared transport can benefit you by making journeys more social and boost your wellbeing. There are lots of ways that part of your total journey could be done more actively, and with a lower environmental impact. Here are some ideas for you to try: Choose to walk to the shops once a week rather than drive Arrange to lift share to work Sit back, relax and take in the views on the bus Try parking somewhere further away from your destination to cut vehicle miles and get a walk Make it a family affair and cycle to school or the local park" Visit our website for more details on this campaign.
