Help identifying this. Possibly a button?

New to the forum. Found this recently. I think it may be a button, but was hoping for confirmation as well as any more information.
Thanks in advance

It is a bottom for sure, can you post pictures of the front as well? Plenty of button experts here that will help you ID that. Congrats!!

Thanks folks. The front is quite a bit more worn, but a few pictures added anyway.

The button was found on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

Yeap, it's a Quality Mark - ''GILT'' means it was once gold plated.

Ex-gold plated Button.

First half of 19th century, in all likelyhood from London.
