JOHN BUTE : AN INFORMAL PORTRAIT
Edited by Maldwin Drummond
Published by Michael Russell, Norwich, 1996. First Edition. Hardback in dust jacket, 136 pages, illustrated.
A very good clean first edition throughout.
John Crichton-Stuart, 6th Marquess of Bute, KBE FRSE FRSA (27 February 1933 – 21 July 1993) was a Scottish peer, benefactor and patron of the arts. He was largely known either as Lord Bute or simply John Bute.
He was Lord Lieutenant of Bute and, from 1990, of Argyll and Bute.[3] As owner of Bute Fabrics, the largest employer on the Isle of Bute, Crichton-Stuart redirected the focus of the company towards designer fabrics and contemporary furniture.[2]
He held office in the National Trust for Scotland for twenty-five years, while its membership increased five-fold. From 1985, he was Chairman of the Trustees of the National Museums of Scotland, securing funding for the new west extension to the Royal Scottish Museum on Chambers Street in Edinburgh, now known as the Museum of Scotland. Despite opposition from Prince Charles, he ensured the project proceeded and saw the laying of the foundation stone in April 1993, shortly before his death
