The Bute influence on Cardiff

The Bute family are a Scottish aristocratic family from the Isle of Bute who revolutionised the city of Cardiff. They invested the modern equivalent of millions upgrading the city’s parks, docks and Castle. From John Stuart, the 1st Marquess of Bute, through to John Crichton-Stuart, 5th Marquess, all have played a significant role in the development of the city, shaping what it looks like today. This piece analyses what the city would look like without their investment, as well as asking the question of whether or not the family is starting to be forgotten by the current residents of the city they did so much for.
