  Bute House - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bute House is the official residence of the First Minister of Scotland, who is the head of the Scottish Executive, the country's devolved government created in 1999.
The house was sold again in 1816 and a little over a century later, having changed hands several times, it became the property of the 4th Marquess of Bute.
In 1966, the house, together with Nos 5 and 7, was conveyed to the National Trust for Scotland in lieu of duty on the estate of the 5th Marquess who had died in 1956.
