Isle of Bute Ferry | Wemyss Bay-Rothesay | Scotland

Isle of Bute
The island is renowned for its fantastic, sheltered beaches and its famously grand architecture. Catch views of Arran from Scalpsie Bay or enjoy the wide sandy beach of Ettrick Bay. Spend a day at Mount Stuart Opens in new window, the island's striking 19th Century neo gothic mansion, with its famous collection of art and literature set against a backdrop of world-famous gothic architecture - complete with a white marble chapel that wouldn't be out of place in Venice.

The ferry to Bute docks at Rothesay, where the jazz festival transforms the art deco Pavilion in May each year. Drive out to the hills and you'll come to a ruined chapel from the 12th century, and a Bronze Age stone circle looking out to the Firth of Clyde.

The ferry leaves from Wemyss Bay on the mainland, arriving at Rothesay on Bute. The journey takes 35 minutes.
