Comment | I prefer Arran due to its diverse landscape and huge amount of different things to see, but if it's just for a weekend and low level walking I'd say Bute would be better overall- easy to get about, the walk round Kilchattan Bay to the old abbey is lovely, Ettrick Bay is a great spot, Rothesay is a nice little town.
You can follow the West Island Way for a tour of the island, though the north of Bute is mostly boring plantation forestry. |
