Alisdair Johnson of organisers Isle of Bute Trust, said: “We had an excellent turnout on the Saturday, a little quieter on the Sunday. Like the rest of Scotland we had a fantastic weekend for weather.

“The Discovery Centre reckoned they doubled their footfall of a standard weekend and one ice cream seller said it was his busiest day ever. Everyone said it was great and asked why don’t we have it more often.

“The gut feeling is that we should do it again. Of course, the money will be a challenge , but the general feeling is we should do it.”
