Join this relaxing panoramic drive on the Isle of Bute -- perhaps the best way to discover all that Bute has to offer. The island is best known for its stunning gardens and wonderful beaches.
Follow the coastline to Ardbeg and Port Bannatyne. The latter features a pretty harbor and small yacht marina. You'll continue past Kames Castle, to beautiful Ettrick Bay and Scalpsie Bay offering picturesque views over to the Isle of Arran.
Heading south, you'll visit the charming waterside village of Kilchattan Bay and the medieval village of Kingarth.
South of the Island is St Blane’s Church, The Church has its roots in a monastery founded here in the AD 500s. This was the home of St Blane – ‘fair Blaan of Ceen Garad (Kingarth)’ – who may have been buried here on his death.
