Isle of Bute

A beautiful island I have only visited once so far!

The ferry coming into Rothesay

View from the edge of the town - so tranquil

Scalpsie Bay, as seen from the open-top bus
On the south western coastline and looking out over the Sound of Bute towards the island of Arran. The only access to the beach is across the fields. There's a large colony of seals here but I didn't see any that day!

The village of Kerrycroy from the bus
A peaceful village on the Isle of Bute with a fine sandy bay and a stone pier, directly south of Rothesay of at the end of the shore road. It was designed by Maria North, the wife of the second Marquis of Bute, who was inspired by the model of an English village.

Port Bannatyne, a mile and a half north of Rothesay
