The Midget Submarine Memorial Garden in Port Bannatyne was established by a community group in 2005, as part of Bute's 60th Anniversary of VE-Day Commemorations, as a tribute to the X-Craft (Midget) submariners who departed from Port Bannatyne on their secret and dangerous missions during World War 2. The luxury 88-bedroomed Kyles Hydro Hotel in Port Bannatyne was requisitioned by the Admiralty and renamed "HMS Varbel". It served as the headquarters of the 12th Submarine Flotilla and it was from here that the top secret deployment of Midget Subs was masterminded.
