These should be on the OpenStreetMaps already but this one isn't, and the Scottish Water website says it's on the Square but it isn't. It's on the coastal side of the road next to the zebra crossing and the pedestrian entrance to the ferry terminal. Edit: They've now updated the map to show the location https://www.yourwateryourlife.co.uk/location/rothesay/

Great little bird hide of you need shelter

Rothesay Castle is in ruins, but has been described as "one of the most remarkable in Scotland", because of its long history dating back to the 13th century, and because of the unusual circular design.

Dreamy bay. Invites you to linger and swim.

Sandy beach with a nice little cafe. Much busier than Kilchattan Bay on the other side of the island. Rather than turning back the way I came (like I had to at Kilchattan which is a dead end), I rode along the little path to reach the other road. My road tyres coped well with the mix of sand, grass, stones and bumps.... but it's speed and smooth riding you're after turning back might be a better idea!

Nice easy climb to a great view.

Stunning views across the Sound of Bute from this viewpoint on the A844 near Mecknoch. You can see the small island of Inchmarnock about 2km away. You also get an amazing view of the Isle of Arran and Goatfell which is the highest mountain on Arran.

Continue straight down to reach Ettrick Bay. The Bay sits in a sheltered position on the western coast of the Isle of Bute. The beach is a mile long of course, golden sand. Perfect for a paddle and a picnic on the beach. There is a tearoom at the end of the road serving home made lunches and lovely baked goods!
