Situation
Glenfaulds is situated on Mountstuart Road on the eastern side of the Isle of Bute’s capital town of Rothesay. From its front line location, the apartment commands uninterrupted views across the Firth of Clyde to the mouth of Loch Striven and the eastern Kyles. The waterscape aspect presents the coming and going of the Caledonian Macbrayne Ferry service to and from Wemyss Bay as well as the movement of pleasure boats and sailing yachts as they venture through the famous and highly scenic Kyles of Bute. The Island also has a small fishing fleet which catches fresh produce for the community and beyond. Rothesay town has thriving shopping, leisure and educational facilities including a larger sized Co-op. Victoria hospital provides an A&E department and a minor incidents unit. Caledonian MacBrayne operates a frequent ferry service to Wemyss Bay, which has direct rail links to Glasgow. A second ferry service runs between Rhubodach on the north of Bute to Colintraive giving access to Argyll and the West Highlands. In addition, there is a new venue known as ‘Bute Yard’ in Rothesay town centre which was built by the last Marquess of Bute and is a great place to visit for food and drink and includes its own distillery, brewery and bar. The two nearest airports are Glasgow and Prestwick, which are approximately 40 and 50 minutes’ drive respectively from Wemyss Bay.

Leisure
Rothesay has an 18 hole golf course, from most of which there are outstanding views of the Firth of Clyde and Arran. Smaller courses are at Port Bannatyne and Kingarth. Bute is an area of significant natural beauty and mild climate, with many opportunities for coastal and hill walking and mountain biking. Fresh water and sea fishing are available, and there are shooting and stalking opportunities. The island has its own grass airstrip for light aircraft and microlights.

Sailing
The area is well known for its sailing on the Kyles of Bute, which is a National Scenic Area. Tighnabruaich and Colintraive to the north, and the Crinan Canal and Tarbert to the West, are centres of lively sailing activity throughout the season. There are marinas, chandlery services and sheltered moorings in Rothesay and Port Bannatyne.

Travel Directions
From Glasgow, travel west on the M8 to Greenock, and then continue on the A78 to Wemyss Bay. Take the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry to Rothesay (35 minutes). On leaving the ferry at Rothesay, turn left and Glenfaulds, 10 Mountstuart Rd, is circa one mile on the right hand side."
