CAMRA Pub of the Year Argyll & Bute

Les Routiers Pub of the year for Scotland

Les Routiers Overall winner National Pub of the Year

 
The Isle of Bute lies off the coast of Argyll in Western Scotland, a

half hour ferry ride from Wemyss Bay at the mouth of the River

Clyde. Wemyss Bay is connected by rail to Glasgow, Glasgow

International Airport and Prestwick Airport. The Kings of Scotland

and Norway fought for possession of this beautiful and favoured

Island, and today Rothesay Castle and Kames Castle bear

testament to the value history placed on the rich pastureland,

forest, hidden bays, freshwater lochs and stunning views of the

Argyll Mountains. An inexpensive ferry links the North of Bute to

the Highlands and routes to other Western Isles.

Port Bannatyne is a centuries old stonebuilt highland village in

north Bute, situated around a safe yacht bay and with its own

charming golf course. Dag and Olga Crawford run The Port Royal

Hotel located at the waterfront, a haven for walkers, cyclists,

fishermen, birdwatchers, yachtsmen, and nature lovers. It is

close to the seal colony at Scalpsie Bay and the bathing beach at

Ettrick Bay. From outside the hotel, buses leave for the ferry at

Rothesay, on circular tours of the island, and north across the

water into the highlands and islands.
