1st Stop - Bute Yard
At Happy Tartan®, our love for Scotland runs deeper than our threads. As part of our new Clogs on Tour adventure, we're taking time to celebrate the places and people that inspire our designs — starting close to home on the beautiful Isle of Bute.
One of our first stops? The heart of creative community life: Bute Yard.
What is Bute Yard?
Located in the centre of Rothesay, Bute Yard is a vibrant community hub on the Isle of Bute — a space built around connection, craft, creativity, and local flavour. Whether you’re popping in for a handmade gift, a beer with friends, or to browse the monthly market,
Why Our Clogs Stopped Here
As part of our new Clogs on Tour series, we’re taking our signature tartan clogs (and their cheeky cartoon alter-egos!) to locations across Scotland and beyond. Each stop is a celebration — and Bute Yard was the perfect place to kick things off.
It’s not just a yard. It’s a movement — and we love it for the same reasons people love Happy Tartan: it’s bright, bold, independent, and full of heart.
What You’ll Find at Bute Yard
-
Markets & Events: From food festivals to local makers’ markets, there’s always something on.
-
Locally Made Goods: From high-end artisan products to everyday treats, it’s a showcase of the best of Bute.
-
Great Beer & Conversation: It’s the kind of place where locals meet tourists, ideas are born, and friendships are made.
Whether you're local or visiting the Isle of Bute, Bute Yard is a must-see stop for anyone who loves creative, sustainable, and community-led spaces.
The Happy Tartan Connection
Our mission at Happy Tartan® is to “Wear Your Tartan Happy.” It’s about culture, pride, joy — and supporting the people and places that bring that spirit to life.
So whether we’re on your feet, in your heart, or touring the world one photo at a time, know this: our roots are strong, and our tartan always starts at home.
Follow our journey every Monday on social media with #ClogsOnTour, and let us know where you think the clogs should visit next.
From Bute to beyond — we’re just getting started.
