The Isle of Bute in the Clyde

Yet another hectic weekend - We were involved in the printing of the programmes for the annual showbiz ball in Glasgow. As you can imagine a very glitzy night.

The committee decided this year to include one of our pocket and bag notebooks as a gift for the guests along with some other goodies. I will put a photo of them on the site soon.

We also had time to visit some of our clients on the west coast. It was a fantastic day as we drove down the clyde and stopped off for a bite of lunch overlooking Rothesay on the Isle of Bute where you can find wonderful luxury self catering accommodation. From there you can look over to the isle of Arran.

Bute is a beautiful accessible island, which is 15 miles long and 4 miles wide. It is situated in the Clyde estuary on the west coast of Scotland and about 35 miles from Glasgow. It has a good road network and is serviced by frequent car ferry service from the mainland .

The trip on our rib is about 20 minutes but if you have to take the ferry, the journey is 35 minutes and there are sailings throughout the year. There is also a year round ferry service from the north end of the island to the mainland. There is a rail connection to the ferry terminal at Wemyss Bay.
