Getting around Rothesay
Rothesay is the Victorian sea-front town on the Isle of Bute, with its promenade, bathhouse and the ruined Bute Castle above the bay, and the ferry from Wemyss Bay landing at its pier. Mount Stuart, the Gothic country house on the island's west side, brings architecture and garden visitors.
Island crossings shape the bookings: luggage meets and greets with the Wemyss Bay ferry, promenade and hotel runs, and pre-booked trips to the island's quieter villages and the west-coast beaches.
