Beautiful Bute & Beyond

For such a compact island, Bute has some extraordinarily varied landscapes. From the lush, fertile and rolling hills of the island's heart to the craggy, heather-covered moorlands of the north and the delightful sandy beaches around the coastline.

Bute is only 15 miles long by 5 miles wide, yet has much to offer the visitor. Its main town, Rothesay, is a Victorian resort linked to the mainland by ferry from Wemyss Bay. 

It is divided into highland and lowland areas by the Highland Boundary Fault.
