Directions by car
The island itself has a comparatively good road network, connecting Rhubodach in the north with the main town Rothesay, and further with Kingarth in the south via different alternative routes (sometimes single track roads only).
Directions by ferry
The island of Bute is accessible via two ferry links to the mainland, both operated by Caledonian MacBrayne (www.calmac.co.uk).
Coming from the Glasgow and Greenock area, the connection between Wemyss Bay (south of Greenock) and Rothesay allows relatively fast and easy access to the island; alternatively the longer, but more scenic route via Dunoon, Auchenbeck (B836) and Colintraive (A886) with ferry to Rhubodach.
