'Our lives are here now' - Syrians settled on Isle of Bute

The Isle of Bute off Scotland's west coast has welcomed more than 100 Syrian refugees over the past decade.

Fleeing civil war, several families ended up more than 2,000 miles away in Rothesay, a small town on the island with a few thousand residents.

The fall of Bashar Al-Assad's regime in Syria last year has given those who fled a glimmer of hope of one day returning - but many feel happy and settled with Bute as their new home.
