Description
These are two brightly painted rocks on the western side of Buttock Point, the northern end of the island of Bute. The two rocks are said to resemble two figures, clearly visible from the Kyles of Bute.
The rocks were popularised by Victorian tourist guides for the trip by steamer through the Kyles to Tighnabruaich.
