A Walk on the Isle of Bute, with Views of Arran

Starting in the magnificent Edwardian railway station and ferry terminal at Wemyss Bay, we catch a ferry to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute. As we approach our destination, the misty mountainous peaks of the Isle of Arran come into view way in the distance, giving a clue as to the visual treats that lie in store during today's hiking adventure. Our walk takes us up the High Street, by Rothesay Castle, and joins with the West Island Way close to Loch Fad. By the waters edge we are treated to stunning views of a mist and cloud-coated Arran, views that we will remember forever. Remaining on this long-distance walking route on the island, we pass Loch Ascog, and head up onto a moorland track that offers even more views and reinforces the fact that we are indeed on an island. Leaving the West Island Way behind, we then make for Mount Stuart, its Gothic Revival architecture being simply magnificent. If the exterior of this wondrous house is anything to go by, the interior will be jaw-droppingly beautiful. After Kerrycroy Bay we pick up a minor road that takes us back to Rothesay, where the gentle breeze brings a ferry to take us back across the Firth of Clyde, and the first step back towards home.
