The Isle of Bute lies in Scotland's Firth of Clyde, tucked into the spectacular sea lochs of southern Argyll. It is a pretty little island, with a mild climate, about 15 miles long and less than 5 miles wide, with a local population of 7,000.

Many former players came to watch the game and to admire the University's magnificent new facility; it was a particular pleasure to welcome Mr Ogilvie Mckenna (Library), who played for the Club in the 1940s and 1950s after making his international debut for Scotland in 1935.
