쉬운 카일스 오브 뷰트 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

BE WARNED - you cannot cycle all the way north along the shore from Kames to link back to the A8803. There is a 1.5km section of steep rocky path that is in-passable with a bike. Do not be tempted to hikeabike this section, it takes 3 hours to carry bikes across this section.

Pretty much the whole way along this footpath, you'll be experiencing magnificent views across the Kyles of Bute toward the mountainous landscape of the Isle of Bute.

A winding gravel track leads you to Tighnabruaich Reservoir, where you can enjoy the peace and tranquillity of a freshwater lake nestled in the Scottish Highlands.

Kames is a charming coastal village located on the Cowal peninsula in Scotland, on the Kyles of Bute. It's a picturesque area featuring a harbour, quaint cottages, and stunning views over the water.

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

Follow the Shore Road back to the boat yard. We dropped onto the beach here for a bit of variety and a paddle. We were lucky enough to see a pod of porpoise feeding at the red buoy on the turning tide ❤️🐬

The harbour is more of a sheltered cove with a tiny lighthouse. Its not a quayside or pier. But is is very pretty. Must have been stunning when the castle was here. You can continue along the road here if you like. Sadly the "island" jutting out is private and there are some houses ahead. We followed the sign heading up to the lily pond

when the road forks bear left uphill and past a pretty waterfall. Soon after this there is a path off to the left. Ig ore this and continue along the Shore Road
