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/

Please check the map and picture. Arran is on the West side of the Isle of Bute, and what is between the islands is called Sound of Bute. The Firth of Clyde is on the East side where I supposed you crossed by the ferry to Rothesay;) you had a great weather for cycling. Arran, and Inchmarnock looks great any moment, any time. I’m located on Bute so you can check some my rides around the rock. Maybe see you on Bute✋

The Colitraive to Rhubodach ferry crossing is a quick and easy way to go to and from the Isle of Bute. The ferries run daily, and you can find the exact times on this web page https://www.calmac.co.uk/article/2927/Bute-Colintraive---Rhubodach

Kilchattan Bay is a little gem nestled along the beautiful Isle of Bute. Enjoy a stroll up the coastline with views of pristine sandy beach, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking coastal views.

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.

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.

Kames castle is an awesome 16th century tower house on Kames Bay. The castle isn't open to the public it can be seen clearly from the road. Should you want to get closer, the castle and surrounding cottages are available to rent as holiday cottages.

A cosy spot for coffee and cake.

The Colintraive Community Garden lies behind the village hall, approximately a quarter of a mile east from the ferry terminal. The garden was created by the village community for the BBC’s Beechgrove Garden television programme in 2003 and has been maintained by residents ever since. The garden is open all year round and visitors can follow a range of paths through the colourful flowerbeds which include several exotic species. There are also dry-stone walls surrounding the garden and a picnic area and pond. The Heritage Centre is on the other side of the Village Hall. Set beside the Milton Burn it tells the story of the development of the village and its farming heritage in artifacts, pictures and film. It has been well received by visitors form all over the world and is open from May until the end of September.

A well stocked garden with many architectural features, including a sunken Victorian Fernery (1875) and large stable's ruin all located in the grounds of a baronial style house from 1844.

Ardencraig Gardens is a walled garden and is maintained by Argyll and Bute Council. It has been developed to create a propagation, education and show garden. Visitors can enjoy the brightly coloured fuchsia and bedding displays, as well as a large selection of more exotic plant species within the glasshouses.

Once a bulwark against invading Viking forces, the magnificent ruins of Rothesay Castle boast a long and close connection to the Stewart dynasty.

A cycling dead end but good cafe stop.

Great view on a clear day

Worth the climb up!

check out the coffee shop and bistro, the food is delicious.

1 of the greatest view point I have ever seen, passed this while doing the 5 ferry challenge, try not to miss this view.

I've nicknamed the road down to Lamlash the Yellow Brick Road...you'll see why. Lovely and smooth and gathers a lot of speed. Enjoy!
