What to Expect...

Departing from Glasgow, enjoy stunning views along the south shores of the Clyde Estuary, overlooking the Firth of Clyde to the Argyllshire sea lochs and Highland mountains. Travel through Greenock and Gourock to Weymss Bay, where a ferry takes you to Rothesay, the Isle of Bute's largest town.

Visit Mount Stuart, the ancestral seat of the marquesses of Bute, with its 19th-century neo-gothic mansion and advanced amenities from 1877. After exploring, enjoy a scenic drive around the island's south side, stopping at beautiful beaches and spotting wildlife.

Back in Rothesay, your time is yours to sample local cuisine, explore the promenade, or visit castle ruins. Board the ferry back to Glasgow, cherishing memories, photos, and souvenirs from your Bute adventure.
