Buttock Point
Buttock Point is a cape in the north of the Scottish island of Bute and therefore belongs administratively to the Unitary Authority Argyll and Bute . It juts out into the Kyles of Bute strait and marks the northernmost point of the island. The hill region in the north of Bute is only very sparsely populated, which is why there are no towns or residential buildings at Buttock Point and its surroundings. There are also no roads leading to the headland on which the megalithic complex Michael’s Grave is located.
Buttock Point also marks the northernmost point of the Kyles of Bute that separate Bute from the Cowal Peninsula on mainland Scotland. Coming from the west, these run in a north-easterly direction up to this point and then bend in a south-easterly direction following the Bute coastline. Opposite, Loch Riddon, an inlet of about five kilometers into the land, branches off to the north. To the northwest, near the Cowal coast, is the small island of Eilean Dubh . A few hundred meters to the west are the three Burnt Islands in the Kyles of Bute.
