Can you smell coconut?

It might just be because the gorse is in bloom on the hills and valleys of Bute 🥰 this hardy wee flower has a strong coconut scent and covers the landscape in glorious yellow from early spring all the way through summer.

in Scotland this plant is also called "whin" after the Celtic Goddess of Winter as its usually the first flower to bloom in early Spring 🌼🌼🌼

You can get stunning views of the gorse coloured landscape from our open top bus
