Top 6 Nature & Parks in Isle of Bute, Scotland
Mount Stuart House is one of Britain’s finest pieces of Gothic revival domestic architecture and a popular visitor attraction. Interiors of the house are grand and elaborate and reflect the history and wealth of the Stuarts of Bute, who have been on the island for over 700 years. A quirky attraction at Rothesay harbour is the elaborately decorated Victorian public toilet.

We walked the southern part of the route on a beautiful autumn day, starting near St Blane's Church. The route is well marked with signs highlighting nearby places of interest. The terrain is varied - over hilltops and a tricky section along the southern coastline, and the views are splendid throughout the route. It took around three hours with time for a picnic and lots of photostops.

The weather was amazing allowing a beautiful view of the isle of Arran across the water. The beach is spotlessly clean, a must if you are visiting Bute and the cafe on sight is an added benefit.
4. Ascog Hall Fernery and Garden
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 93 reviews
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. A plant hunter trail, many water features and Britain's oldest exotic fern (more than 1000 years) add interest to this distinctly old fashioned and rather magical experience. Open from 10am to 5pm 1st April to 30th October.

Beautiful hidden gem in Rothesay, lovely beds, greenhouses, succulents and cacti and an aviary. Very friendly and knowledgeable gardening team who made us feel welcome. Great for a visit.
