Trials of Bute 

Trials of Bute is a four-day sheepdog trial taking place on the Island. It was founded by a group of friends (and MST tenants) who all have a keen interest in farming and working sheepdogs. The trials welcome visitors from across Europe. Mount Stuart Trust has sponsored the event since its inception and looks forward to supporting the event going forward.
