Rothesay sits proudly on the east side of the Isle of Bute and can claim its fame as, not only the capital of the island, but as the capital of the Clyde, for Rothesay was once considered the only destination for the ‘Doon the Watter’ traveller.
Only 35 minutes by ferry from the mainland port of Wemyss Bay, although perhaps not as busy as in a bygone era, Rothesay remains a highly accessible resort with plenty to offer the visitor.
Rothesay Castle is one of the best surviving examples of medieval architecture in Scotland and was home to the Marquises of Bute until the building of the beautiful Mount Stuart residence.
Rothesay’s famous Grade A-listed Winter garden now houses one of Scotland’s most innovative and exciting visitor centres while Bute Museum, situated behind the castle, has many special features including a social history of Bute and the Clyde steamers which made Bute famous.
