The island is only 15 miles long and 5 miles wide, but is bursting with history, culture, wildlife, arts, and music with so much to see and do for all of the family. Rothesay is the main town on Bute, and where visitors to the island arrive. A bustling hub by day, which quietens after the last ferry has departed. Numerous cafes, bars, restaurants, takeaways and ice cream purveyors, catering to visitors and locals in equal measure. Rothesay is a traditional town, boasting many beautiful Victorian buildings, with much investment in these beautiful buildings in recent years. Dominating the shoreline, amongst the glorious esplanade gardens, is the refurbished Isle of Bute Discovery Centre, a unique 1920s circular structure of cast iron and glass, now incorporating a cinema, theatre and many interactive displays as well as showcasing the best of Bute. Visitors can also explore the impressive Rothesay Castle, its dungeons, with thick outer walls and grand hall, which are all now fully restored. Just behind it sits the fascinating Bute Museum. There is also the impressive Mount Stuart House and gardens, which are a must to visit during your stay. To the north is the splendid Art Deco Pavillion building, which is currently being refurbished. Ardbeg is just over a mile from the centre of Rothesay and as a result is in a quiet neighbourhood. Bute is very accessible via the ferry from Wemyss Bay on the Clyde coast. Wemyss Bay has a train station, and services to and from Glasgow connect to the ferry. The ferry takes 35 minutes to reach Bute, and is run by CalMac and accommodates cars and foot passengers. The ferry terminal is in the centre of Rothesay and it is easy to get around Rothesay on foot. Taxis are available just outside the ferry terminal, and Rothesay, and the rest of the island is well serviced by public transport. Cycling is very popular on Bute. Buses are available from the main road at the bottom of the hill, less than a five minute walk.
