Isle of Bute Social and Walking Break
Overview
Join us as we enjoy another social and walking weekend in Scotland. Our destination is the small island of Bute and the Glenburn Hotel in Rothesay. Bute is a pretty little island about 15 miles long and less than 5 miles wide just off the west coast of southern Scotland. With a population of around 6,500, it is very easy to reach from central Scotland and beyond and was a popular holiday destination during Victorian times when the Clyde was booming.
It still has much to offer with hills in the north, lots of sandy beaches, ruined chapels and forts. Bute's many gardens benefit from the Gulf Stream which gives the island a mild climate enabling palm trees and other exotic plants to grow. One of the main visitor attractions is the spectacular Mount Stuart House which is definitely worth a trip.

Travel & Stay
The Glenburn is a grand and elegant choice for our stay. The hotel is set in a prime position atop delightful terraced gardens and was originally constructed in 1892 as a hydrotherapy retreat. It commands fabulous views overlooking Rothesay Bay and the Cowal Peninsula. Relax with a drink in the welcoming bar or perhaps enjoy a game of snooker.
You'll need to book a boat! Bute is an island and as such a ferry service runs from Wemyss Bay (best) or Colintraive to Rothesay. Ferries run roughly on the hour (please check) and cost will be updated nearer the time. Wemyss Bay is easily accessible from Glasgow Central Train Station.
