We have been on Bute for a few days and we did an architectural tour of Mount Stuart house which was fascinating.
This silver heart is in pride of place in the White marble Chapel. The 3rd Lord Bute wished to have his heart buried at the amount of Olives so his Lady wife carried his heart in this silver box to the Mount of Olives and when she returned she wore the keys to the ( now empty) box round her neck and she is buried in the grounds of Mount Stuart wearing the keys round her neck. So she has the keys to his heart with her still.
If we could have waited a bit longer we would have caught the entire reflection of the red windows in the centre of the heart. So a challenge for someone else perhaps.
