Argyll and Bute, Administrative region in western Scotland.
Argyll and Bute extends from the Grampian Mountains to the Atlantic Ocean, featuring peninsulas divided by deep lochs and numerous Inner Hebrides islands.
The region emerged from the 1996 Scottish local government reform, combining territories from historic counties of Argyllshire, Buteshire, and parts of Dunbartonshire.
The area maintains strong connections to Gaelic heritage through its place names, while modern settlements like Helensburgh represent contemporary Scottish cultural development.
Transportation infrastructure includes the West Highland Line railway, major roads such as A82 and A83, plus regular ferry services connecting mainland to islands.
The region received a £20 million funding allocation from the UK Government in November 2024 to support local growth and development projects.
