Off the coast of Scotland, in the heart of Bute, the Rothesay Pavilion is undergoing a transformation to become the cornerstone of community wealth and vitality. Our vision is to create a place where warmth and well-being strengthen community bonds, where innovation and collaboration fuse to ignite new ideas, and where enrichment and entertainment thrive, enhancing the lives of all who visit.
ISLE OF BUTE
As we breathe new life into this historic building, we’re not just renovating walls and floors; we’re preserving a masterwork of International Modern architecture. The Rothesay Pavilion stands as a unique gem in Scotland’s architectural heritage and holds a rare place in the global architectural story. Within the Isle of Bute community, it is a multifaceted and dynamic community space. The Pavilion will be a place where everyone can thrive, connect, and be inspired.
