Discover Isle of Bute, Highlands, Scotland, UK

Beautiful Bute is one of the most accessible islands on the Scottish West coast in the region of Argyll and Bute, and makes a perfect destination for a quick weekend away (although maybe not if you live in Lands End). Just a stones throw from Glasgow, you can catch the ferry from Wemyss Bay across the Firth of Clyde to the pretty town of Rothesay. While you are here, visit the ruins of the 13th Century Rothesay Castle, its dungeons, thick stone walls and the grand hall (which has been restored). The (fully functional) public Victorian toilets in Rothesay are worth a visit here too, whether you need to go or not!
