RothesayRothesay is the principal town on the Isle of Bute and the county town of Buteshire. It stands in the middle of the Isle of Bute's east coast, in a natural harbour around which the town has grown. It is the island's main ferry port. The town is characterised by its jaunty seaside houses from its 1930s heyday. It possesses a classic Victorian seafront façade with a promenade and pier all on land reclaimed from the sea. It began as a fishing village, but became a popular holiday resort and a "doon the watter" destination for Glasgow trippers until the 1960s. (Read more) |
