Review & FAQ:
People who want to spend a day on a Scottish island can take a short ferry trip over to Bute via the Firth of Clyde from Wemyss Bay.
Most visitors to the island spend the day at Rothesay where Victorian and art deco architecture combine. Rothesay Castle, Mount Stuart Home, Dunagoil Vitrified Fort, Print Point, and St. Blane’s Chapel are popular attractions on the island that is otherwise covered in rolling hills, moorlands covered in heather, and sandy beaches. Swimming, cycling, fishing, and kayaking are popular activities for visitors spending the day on Bute island.
