Rothesay, a beach village, gained popularity as a tourist destination during the Victorian era when many Glaswegians would travel "doon the watter" (down the River Clyde) and across on the ferry to Bute, despite the fact that its castle dated from the 13th Century. There is currently a lot to see and do on this lovely island, which is easily accessible by ferry crossing. You can either take the 35-minute ride from Wemyss Bay or the quicker 5-minute crossing to the island's north from Colintraive. Visit the castle ruins in the town centre, take a beach stroll or a bike ride to take in the breathtaking surroundings, and see the ancient Mount Stuart House and its beautiful gardens. Try one of the three golf courses on the island, or unwind at Scalpsie Bay while taking in the breathtaking vistas of Arran.

From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.
