The Isle of Bute lies in Scotland's Firth of Clyde, tucked into the spectacular sea lochs of southern Argyll. 15 miles long by approximately 4 miles wide Bute is less than two hours from the city of Glasgow.
Bute was a popular Victorian seaside destination, when the main town of Rothesay would be bustling with trippers who had come "doon the watter" during the Glasgow Fair and disembarked from the many steamers that sailed the Clyde.

Todays visitors can enjoy the spectacular house and gardens at Mount Stuart or visit Rothesay castle in the town centre. The annual Jazz and Arts festivals attract thousands of visitors and of course the Bute Highland Games in August are a magnet for fans of traditional Scottish sports and music.

Harbourside Apartments are situated right on the seafront in the heart of Rothesay, so we are well placed to provide a base for your holiday to our wonderful island.
