The tour departs 4 times daily for a trip around this picturesque Scottish island. The first point of interest on the island is the county town of Rothesay. The ruins of Rothesay Castle date back to the 13th century. The castle is unique in Scotland for its circular layout. Enjoy panoramic views of the scenery as the red open top double-decker bus guides you along the route, highlighting all the main points of interest.

The route will take you past the former Winter Garden which is now the Isle of Bute Discovery Centre. Port Bannatyne lies on the east coast of the isle. Together with its eastern neighbour of Ardbeg, Port Bannatyne stretches along the south shore of Kames Bay which lies at the east end of a low-lying valley. Kames Castle lies a little inland from the head of Kames Bay and comprises a large keep built in the 1300s. The tour continues to tranquil Ettrick Bay.

Explore the island and take in 360 degree panoramic views from the top deck

The coast road meanders along to Scalpsie Bay where the red open top double-decker bus pauses to savour its peace and serenity before heading towards Kingarth, Kilchattan Bay and Ascog Bay. The tour takes you back to Rothesay Pier and leaves ample time to catch the ferry back to Wemyss Bay.
