West Island Way
The West Island Way is a waymarked long distance footpath on the Isle of Bute. It is the first such route on a Scottish island.
Description
It is a fairly easy walk of approximately 30 miles (48 km), passing through seashore, moorland, farmland and forest. The route opened in 2000 as part of Bute's millennium celebrates.[1]
The route begins at Kilchattan Bay in the south of the island, and finishes at Port Bannatyne in the north, with Rothesay, the main town on Bute, as a central point. The hike can be completed over two fairly lengthy walking days.[1] The official map and guide of the route is available from the Bute Discovery Centre.
